Coromandel Town water restrictions continue
The full water restrictions for Coromandel Town put in place yesterday (Thursday 15 February) remain in place. The electrical fault at the water treatment plant has been repaired but reservoir levels now need to recover. Until then, the hose, irrigation and sprinkler ban remain in place.
Until the reservoir levels recover, we're asking residents and visitors to Coromandel Town to do their best to conserve water.
The reservoir levels are being monitored closely and we will remove the restrictions as soon as we can.
The only other area currently with a temporary water restriction is Tairua, which remains on a sprinkler and irrigation ban.
And, a reminder that in Thames Valley (including Hikutaia, Omahu, Puriri and Matatoki) there is a permanent irrigation ban in place all year round.
We still encourage people to continue to conserve water as best they can.
We're checking water use in our nine urban and two rural water supply schemes regularly and reviewing our water restrictions daily.
Any changes are posted on our website, email newsletters and our Facebook page.
Please report water wastage and water leaks to Customer Service on 07 868 0200.
Residents and visitors are asked to comply with the water restrictions for the good of the community.
Top 5 smart water conservation tips
1. Wait until you can do full loads before you wash
dishes or use the washing machine.
2. Don’t run the
water when brushing your teeth.
3. For cool drinking
water, fill a jug and keep it in the fridge. Running water
to cool it down can waste 10 litres a minute.
4. For
lawns, apply the ‘step test’ – if grass springs back
after you walk on it, it doesn’t need watering.
5.
If your toilet has a dual flush button, use the half
flush.
