Update 7.30am Nov 17
Waikato District Council says that water levels are at their lowest so it is critical that you continue to conserve water today (Thursday 17th) and if possible, don’t shower till tonight.
Tankers pumped water into the Upper Bow Street reservoir overnight. Despite this you’ll still have low water pressure and you will still need to boil water for drinking.
As the Upper Bow Street reservoir level lowers more homes in higher areas lose water completely so WDC say it’s important to conserve every drop you can.
