Water conservation (17/01/2022)

Carl from Brooklyn Residents Association Incorporated

Hello, We are forwarding this message from Wellington Water to encourage water conservation. These hot days mean we are using more water, and we only have a finite amount. Better to voluntarily save than have restrictions forced on us...

It's time to start saving water Wellington. 💧

It's time to start saving water Wellington. 💧

Every week our team of engineers gather to review the region's water use. The warm weather over the last week has seen a large spike in water use, as well as a drop in our river levels. ☀
The graph below shows that our available water supply is just meeting demand. It's important we all start using less water now so that we have plenty to get us through the summer period.
Thank you in advance for doing your bit so that we can have access to clean water all summer long.
