Water Restrictions Now in Force at Level 3
While residents on the public water supply have succeeded in their efforts to reduce water use, insufficient rain has fallen to replenish our dams, and little rain is forecast in coming months.
To further reduce water use across our District, Whangarei District Council has established Level three Water Restrictions for all of the Whangārei District from 8am Thursday 16 April.
Here's what that means for residential water users. For more information including restrictions on Commercial customers please see our full update:

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
