Tasman District Council approves tougher water restrictions
UPDATE
February 19
10.12am
The Tasman District Council has raised water restrictions in some towns and suburbs in the region to Phase C.
The Tasman District's Dry Weather Taskforce met on February 17 to set restrictions for the coming week.
Phase C restrictions will be in place for residential households and public organisations that are on the Dovedale reticulated supply only. Businesses on this supply will be at Phase B restrictions.
Here's what you need to know:
- As with Phase B restrictions, you cannot water lawns, top up water features (such as a pool or spa), or use any water for play.
- You may only water your garden with a trigger nozzle or timer system on every second day.
- Washing vehicles is only permitted with recycled grey water and any other outdoor washing must be done with a bucket.

The Tasman District Council has raised water restrictions for some towns and suburbs in the region.
The Phase B water restrictions came into force today, with the restrictions only applying to public water supplies. The Tasman District's Dry Weather Taskforce decided on the water restrictions February 3.
Taskforce convenor Dennis Bush-King said last week that weather conditions so-far had delayed water restrictions, but dry weather throughout January mean water levels were now declining.
What you need to know:
- The new restrictions are in effect for Richmond, Hope, Brightwater, Redwood Valley, Māpua/Ruby Bay and Wakefield.
- You cannot water lawns, top up water features (such as a pool or spa), or use any water for play.
- You can wash outdoor areas with a handheld hose with a trigger nozzle. Watering gardens with hose fitted with a trigger nozzle is also permitted, but only every second day.
For more information regarding these upgraded restrictions, please visit the Tasman District Council's water restrictions information page.

We're also looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to join us on Saturdays!

Whether you're a morning person or prefer the afternoon shift, we'd love your help. All you need is to be friendly, have great communication skills, and if you have an eye for design, that's a bonus! Plus, we won't say no to a good singing voice or a love for chocolate biscuits 😉
