How would a hose ban impact you?

Denise Piper Reporter from Whangārei Leader

Climate change, dry weather and deforestation have all led to an early hose ban in Northland's Kaikohe. There are no such restrictions in Whangārei but it has been a dry year here and reservoir storage levels were down in winter. If one was introduced, how would a hose ban impact you?
