Over the past month, despite some rain, there has been a significant increase in water demand due to the warmer weather.

Summer is officially here so it’s time to start thinking about how much water we use. While we aren’t at water alert levels yet, it’s not far away if we keep using the amount we are.

Hamilton, Waikato and Waipa are now all on Water Alert Level 1.

The move to Water Alert Level 1 was triggered by a significant increase in water consumption across the region.

Water restrictions have been lifted today across Hamilton City, Waikato District and Waipa District.

All water restrictions in Hamilton and Waikato District and part of Waipā will be lifted from today (20 March) following recent rain and the sustained water use across the region.
