Heavy rainfall fills Waitākere dams, but water restrictions remain

Melanie Earley Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours, heavy rainfall across Auckland over the past week has replenished a west Auckland dam – but the city's water storage levels are still low.
A Watercare spokeswoman said last week's deluge gave the Upper Nihotupu Dam in the Waitākere Ranges, a storage boost from 51 per cent to 93 per cent full. “But significant replenishment in the western dams does not mean we can all abandon our water-saving efforts,” the spokeswoman said.
