Summer Weekly Water Supply Update From Watercare - February 3

As part of our Easy Does It summer campaign, we’re providing weekly updates on Auckland’s water supply situation. Please let us know if you would rather not receive them.

Auckland’s water supply situation is stable. Typically, water demand peaks in February, so we'll continue to remind people to go easy with their water use over summer. We continuously monitor weather forecasts, dam storage levels, water demand and network performance.

Total dam storage today: 74%

Historical average dam storage: 82.8%

Seven-day average water use: 464 million litres per day

Leaks reported last week: 1259

Leaks fixed last week: 1262

Weather forecast for the week: Drier than normal

The attached infographic compares current demand to historical peak demand. We plan and build new infrastructure to ensure we can meet peak demand, not average demand – so if we can keep peak demand lower, we can defer costly infrastructure upgrades and save on interest costs.
