Water Restrictions for Consumers Connected to Gore and Mataura Urban Water Supplies

 Water restrictions are now in place for all consumers on both the Gore and Mataura urban water supplies.

Due to the warm conditions, water levels in both urban supply areas require the second level of restrictions to be implemented as stipulated in the Council’s Water Bylaw 2010.

The second level permits unattended hoses, sprinklers, garden irrigation and hand held hoses to be used only between 7.00 pm and 9.00 pm for even numbered houses on even days and odd numbered houses on odd days.

Mataura Water Tank

The Council has set up a water tank outside the Mataura Service Centre so residents can collect water for drinking. The water will come from the Gore supply and will be treated.

Residents need to bring their own containers.

It is intended the tank will remain in place until the Pluera intake is returned to service.

The tank became available to residents today, Thursday 12 January.
