We're very glad to report that Wilson's Dam (Bream Bay) is completely full, and Whau Valley Dam (Whangārei and surrounds) is 80% full. It's the result of a pretty rainy June, and locals' efforts to save water over the last couple of months.

Since we're safely back in the "normal" zone for water storage, normal levels of water conservation are also appropriate.

You can get up to date information about this topic on our Dam levels webpage.
