Waipa District Council is warning further water restrictions will be necessary if residents don’t start cutting back their water use.

Warm weather and increasing water demand has today prompted Hamilton City Council to further conserve water by moving to Alert Level 2.

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.
