Garden watering restrictions apply during daylight saving months (September – April) in Lower Hutt, Porirua and Wellington, and are all year-round for Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa.
These are base-level restrictions and can be increased depending on demand and supply around the region.
These restrictions relate to council bylaws and non-compliance can result in prosecution.
