This is the annual scheduled summer increase in water restriction level put in place every summer specifically for Ākitio and will start from 1 December.

Ākitio will be moving up to a total outdoor ban from 1 December 2023. That means no sprinklers, soak hoses, irrigation systems, no hosing of gardens, no water blasting, and no washing of vehicles, buildings or boats.

The restriction will be reviewed periodically and relaxed at the earliest opportunity in the autumn. For further water restriction information please visit our water restrictions page.
