Water Level 3 for users of Hamilton Water supply

Take all practical steps to reduce your water usage

Switch off irrigation systems and prioritise watering fruit and vegetables only.
Use a trigger on your hose to direct water where you need it most. Where practical, use a bucket or watering can.
Use a cover on permanent and portable pools to prevent 97% of water evaporating and use appropriate chemicals to keep the water fresh.
Do not wash windows, footpaths, driveways, buildings and cars unless safety is an issue. If water is required, use a bucket instead of your hose or water blaster.
Shorten your shower. Visit your council reception (Hamilton City, Waipa District & Waitomo District only) & ask for your free shower timer to make this easier.
