Community

Water Restriction Level 1 is now in effect across Wellington City, Lower Hutt and Porirua, joining Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa who are in Level 1 year-round.

Water Restriction Level 1 asks people to use sprinklers every second day.

If you live in an even numbered house, you can use sprinklers or irrigation systems on even numbered days between 6-8am and 7-9pm. If you live in an odd numbered house, the same rules apply for odd numbered days.

None of us lives in a vacuum. We live in communities, and there are many support services out there that can help us to navigate life and connect with others.
