Hamilton City Council has moved to Water Alert Level 3 from Thursday 6 February, in response to record water-use in past weeks.

Council is now ramping up efforts in order to get residents and commercial businesses to conserve as much water as possible.

Dry conditions and increased demand have forced Council to move to Alert 3 this Friday, only 11 days since water alert level 1 was put in place.

Water restrictions have started in Waipā with Te Awamutu, Pirongia, Kaipaki, Ohaupo and surrounds moving to Alert Level 1 on 20 January.

The increasing summer heat and demand for water has led to Hamilton moving to Alert Level 2 on Tuesday 14 January.
