Christchurch’s water pumps, reservoirs and pipe network have been severely damaged by the earthquakes.This means we need to reduce the amount of water we use over summer.
What does this mean for you?
Unattended hoses, sprinklers and garden irrigation systems are not permitted at any time.
No outdoor water use on Mondays.
Even numbered properties: (e.g. Street Numbers 2, 4, 6, 8.) – hand-held (hand-held hoses, watering cans, etc) watering only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Odd numbered properties: (e.g. Street Numbers 3, 5, 7, 9) – hand-held (hand-held hoses, watering cans, etc) watering only on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
Car washing is permitted on your allocated day.
We need your support to avoid total outdoor watering bans this summer.
For more information please see your local council.
