Water restrictions
Flow in the streams that supply Tauranga’s drinking water continues to be at a record low. To ease pressure on the streams, water restrictions remain necessary to care for stream health and safeguard supply.
These images show flow over the weir in the Tautau and illustrate the problem well - between November 2020 and March 2021.
To accommodate the end of daylight savings, you can now water by handheld hose or watering can between 5am and 8am, and 5pm and 8pm.
A big thank you for your support in caring for our streams.
