Hamilton City and Waikato District are moving to Water Alert Level 2 to conserve water use.  

After just over a week at Water Alert Level One, a prolonged spell of dry warm weather and high water demand has prompted Waipa District to move to Water Alert Level 2 – effective today (12 January).

Residents in the Hamilton, Waikato and Waipa districts are being asked to be smart with their water use with the introduction of Water Alert Level 1 from today.

Waipā is now at Water Alert Level 3 and while low water supply is the key issue in Te Awamutu, for Cambridge people are simply using too much water.

We're asking Waikato District, Waipa District and Hamilton City Council residents to conserve water now to help delay moving to water alert level 1, which could be required in the New Year if storage levels continue to fall.
