An El Niño summer often brings hotter, drier conditions to the eastern South Island, increasing the risk of drought, pressure on water supplies, and heightened fire danger.
While we can't control the weather, we can control how we prepare.
Now is the time for all of us, households, farmers, businesses, and rural property owners, to start using water wisely and thinking ahead. Every litre saved helps protect our community, support local farms and businesses, maintain essential services, and safeguard our environment.
✅ Fix leaks
✅ Check troughs, tanks and irrigation systems
✅ Water gardens efficiently
✅ Reduce unnecessary water use around the home
By taking small steps now, we can help our district remain resilient through what could be a challenging summer.
Our Water. Our Responsibility.
Save Water Today. Secure Water Tomorrow. 💦
