"The Whau Valley Dam holds 1,871,286 m3 of water and supplies Whangarei City and its surrounds."
It is currently sitting at 47%.
By that calculation alone we need approximately 992,000m3 to bring the dam to full capacity.
Today's forecast said it was going to rain.
Rain fall said we got approximately 0.8mm.
While we are looking to be getting some rain next week, it will not be the amount we need to get us out of this situation quickly.
"In a bid to further reduce water use across our District, Whangarei District Council is establishing Level three water restrictions in the Whangārei District at 8am on Thursday 16 April 2020."
"The 12 months to date have been the driest in recorded history in Whangārei District. Dam, river and groundwater levels have fallen to record low levels. While residents on the public water supply have succeeded in their efforts to reduce water use, insufficient rain to replenish these sources has fallen, and little rain is forecast in coming months."
