  Water restrictions in Ōkato

  Due to low water levels in the Mangatete Stream, water restrictions are in place in Ōkato on the odds-and-evens system. This means that hand-held hoses may be used at odd-numbered houses on odd-numbered days and at even-numbered houses on even-numbered days.

  The use of sprinklers, irrigation systems and unattended hoses is banned until the restrictions are lifted.

  For tips on how to reduce your water use around the home, please check out the Wai Warrior webpage.
