Poll: Are you taking steps to save water in your household?
Watercare is urging Aucklanders to keep conserving water this week- normally the region's highest water consumption week of the year.
The first week of February is traditionally the biggest week of the year when it comes to Aucklanders' water use, said Watercare head of servicing and consents, Mark Bourne.
“Last year was a little different because we were in the midst of a drought, and water use skyrocketed throughout the month of February because there was just no rain," Bourne said.
"We were breaking record after record, with water use peaking at 568 million litres a day."
Normally the first week in February is when Watercare would see water use spike dramatically, he said.
"It's when most people are back from their summer holidays, commercial production increases, the school term is starting and the weather is often very hot and dry."
Bourne said it was imperative that Aucklanders kept up the great water-saving habits they had adopted since restrictions were put in place in May.
"Together we’ve saved more than 10 billion litres in the past eight months, and in January our water use stayed comfortably under our target."
If you are doing your bit for conservation, what are some water saving hacks that you use?
