What you need to know:
- Sprinklers can only be used every second day at this stage in level one restrictions.
- Wremo recommends households have an emergency supply of at least 20L of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person). Wellington residents can buy 200L water tanks from their local councils for a discounted rate.
- Wellington Water is preparing with emergency agencies for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50%.
Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (Wremo) regional manager Jeremy Holmes said storing water should be a priority over the Christmas and New Year period.
"You can store water by cleaning and re-using plastic bottles, using larger water containers from hardware stores or installing a 200 litre household emergency water tank available through your local council."
He understood finding space in apartments could be a challenge, so he encouraged people to get creative and take measures such as storing containers behind the couch, under beds or in the back of cupboards.

Amid all the festivities, let’s spare a thought for those facing financial stress, especially in light of cost of living pressures. It’s great to see ongoing support for local food banks, and my gratitude goes to donors and volunteers at organisations like Cannons Creek Community Pantry, St Vincent’s, and the Porirua Food Bank run by the Salvation Army. Their efforts have become even more crucial following the closure in April of St Anne’s Pantry. If you’re in a position to help, your donation can make a significant difference.
