Water Restrictions Still In Place
Did you know the maximum daily supply Council can currently maintain is 2500 cubic metres per day? We’ve already gone over this level a few times in January, which is easy to do with all the hot weather we’ve been having.
The Kaipaitanagata stream, which is our main water source, is dependent on rainfall and is currently so low there is no longer any water flowing over the weir. We are now providing water via the Frederick Street bore field. This is why the current water restrictions are still handheld hoses on alternate days.
You can check out our daily usage charts here or watch this handy video for easy ways of conserving water. Don’t forget, the council also sells water tanks you can install yourself so you can still water your garden without relying on the town’s water supply.

Hi what time is it?
ROAD CLOSURE DUE TO CRASH
Te Whiti Road is closed at Te Kopi Road and Lees Pakaraka Road due to a crash at the Tauweru Bridge on the boundary with Masterton.
The road will be closed for at least 4 hours.
Do you mean Te Whiti Road near Te Kopi? Lees Pakaraka is kms further down the road. Is the road closed the entire stretch?
Condolences to the drivers family!! ❣️

UPDATE ON CHIPSEALING
While some of the chipsealing work has already taken place, the completion of the work south of Diamond St to Portland Rd has been delayed until Sunday and Monday nights due to machinery issues.
Updates will continue to be posted here and on our website, as well as on NZTA's maintenance page: journeys.nzta.govt.nz/wellington/road-works
Can u please remind the workers that there people that live in the houses and a lot of people bedrooms are by the road and not to b so loud as there a lot of yelling and shouting outside
So where did the machinary come from to do the chip seal on the passing lanes at the southern end of town. Because that was done when the remaining residential part was to be done. Why wasn't that machinery used to do the remaining residential section.

Don’t worry if you put out your kerbside waste and recycling today (Monday) and it wasn’t collected - it will be collected tomorrow (Tuesday) 🙂 If you no longer have a copy of your kerbside recycling calendar, you can find it at www.wairecycle.nz/assets/Collection-Calendar-v3.pdf
Have just moved down to the area from a lifestyle block in Waiuku to a lifestyle block in Carterton. We had our rubbish picked up once a week and recycle bin every 2nd week. Here nothing at all. Rates gets paid for?
By the look of all the recycling bins out in our street alone this was not well notified don't you think a quick notification on Facebook should have been made
Recycling is proving a right pain in the butt with all you now have to do so to hell with it just going to put all rubbish and recycling in one bin from now on
I'm sure nobody was harmed by bins being left out an extra night. Move along now 😂
Hope the bags don’t all get ripped open over night.
Your website said today..
this post really should have been made last night!
But your website says if a collection falls on a public holiday Monday then the date doesn't change. Council Urban Refuse Collection A domestic refuse collection is carried out once a week in Carterton on Mondays. Where a public holiday falls on Monday the collection will take place on the same day. My relationship as a ratepayer is with Carterton District Council not with wairecycle.nz so I look for information on CDC's site, not a contractors site.. Update your website!

Can you give Shep a new forever home?
Shep is a Male entire mixed breed, possibly German Shepherd Cross Shar Pei.
He is approximately 18 mths-2 years old.
Shep was found roaming end of December and has not been claimed by an owner.
He is very energetic so would suit an energetic family with teenagers.
He has some obedience training, he sits and likes to play with a ball.
If you would like to meet Shep
