Carterton District Council has confirmed that water restrictions are currently in place, but please continue to save any rainfall you can.

The autumn and winter weather has kept our supplies healthy, and there is no immediate pressure on our water network.

However, we’re encouraging everyone to maintain good water-saving habits—it makes a big difference in summer when demand rises sharply.

Now is a great time to consider installing a rainwater tank. Capturing rain now means you’ll be better prepared when things heat up later in the year.

Thanks for continuing to be water-wise. Every drop counts — and planning ahead helps us all.

You can buy water tanks from our offices at Holloway St.
