Conserve Water Notice - Hook-Waituna Rural Water Scheme
Consumers on the Hook Waituna Rural Water Scheme are asked to monitor water usage and conserve water where possible. This is due to dry conditions and low flow at the Hook Waituna Rural Water Scheme intake.
It is recommended that the watering of gardens with scheme water is to be limited to hand watering in the evenings only and request no watering of lawns or use of garden sprinklers.
Please repair any leaking pipes, taps, toilet cisterns, hoses, and other associated plumbing, as well as keeping an eye on any troughs required for stock.
Please regularly check your water reserves. A good way to do this is to look at installing water level indicators, flags or electronic monitoring.
Council also recommends four days water storage of your supplied allocation.
Please immediately report any water leaks on the rural water schemes to Council on (03) 689 0000.
