Eighty-Eight Valley returns to Phase B water Restrictions, Redwood Valley remains at Phase D

19 January, 2024

Good news for anyone on a Council water supply in Eighty-Eight Valley, you are now moving to Phase B water restrictions, along with Wakefield and Brightwater who moved to Phase B earlier today. Phase B restrictions also remain in effect for Richmond, Hope and Māpua/ Ruby Bay.

For now, Redwood Valley 1 and 2 and Dovedale remain on Phase D restrictions. We will be reviewing the situation next week to determine if any further change is necessary.

As a recap for those on Phase B restrictions;

• You can't water the lawn, fill or top up a pool, spa or water feature, or use water for play.

• You can still do outdoor washing (cars, windows, outdoor areas) with a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, water blaster or bucket.

• Flowers/trees/planters can be watered every second day only with a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, watering systems on a timer or a bucket.

• Veggie gardens and fruit trees can be watered with a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, watering systems on a timer, or a bucket.

As for those in Phase D:

You CAN:

• Wash your car using recycled grey water only.

• Do essential outdoor washing for safety reasons, using a bucket only.

• Water listed protected trees every second day only with a hand held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, watering systems on a timer or a bucket.
