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.

We've just received confirmation that our inspections of last week's repair work to the Eastern Bulk Water Main mean that we can return to Water Alert Level One. This means sprinklers can be used between 6am and 8am and 6pm and 8pm. Handheld hosing is allowed at anytime.

Hamilton City Council is calling for all residents to urgently conserve water after damage to one of the city's most important water mains.

Hamilton, Waikato and Waipā are all on Water Alert Level 1 – sprinklers between 6am-8am and 6pm-8pm, hand held hosing at any time.
