Alternate evening water restrictions have been imposed in all Tararua towns.
This means hand-held outdoor water use is only permitted between 7pm and 9pm on alternate days, that is houses with even street numbers on even days and houses with odd street numbers on odd days.
The restriction excludes Akitio where a total outdoor ban is in place until April 7.

Water use has increased across the district by around 10 per cent since before Christmas, as expected during summer months, and river flows have steadily declined because of a lack of significant rainfall in some areas.
