With warm temperatures forecast in the lead-up to Christmas, the Gisborne District Council is calling on the community to be conscious with their water use to avoid future restrictions.
Current demand is averaging about 22 million litres a day, which is up approximately 2 million litres per day on this
time last year.
Team leader for drinking water Judith Robertson says conserving water now is important to prevent the need for water restrictions later in summer.
“Households and industries can make a difference by reducing outdoor water use of hoses and sprinklers and avoiding wastage on a voluntary basis.
“Maintaining pool water quality at home is important to prevent the need for emptying and refilling, especially for the frame pools people put up in summer.
