Cooler temperatures, forecasted rain, and water saving efforts from residents means Water Alert Level 1 is no longer needed in Hamilton.

Water restrictions have been lifted for the Waipā District from today.

Hamilton City and Waipā District will move to Water Alert Level 1 from today (Tuesday 11 February).

Sprinklers can only be used between 6-8am and 6-8pm in Waipā from today, as the district has moved into water restriction level one. Recent rain has not been enough to alleviate the dry, hot summer conditions, and average water usage in the district has reached the trigger level of 80 percent of the amount produced by our treatment plants over 24 hours.

As Hamiltonians prepare to enjoy the upcoming public holidays, the city’s daily water use continues to climb most days.
