Renwick Water Restrictions

Due to excessive water consumption and low aquifer levels in Renwick water restrictions have to be implemented. The restrictions are to take effect immediately and are as follows:

Renwick hosing restrictions apply until further notice:

• A property with an even numbered street address may use sprinklers only on even numbered calendar days.
• A property with an odd numbered street address may use sprinklers only on odd numbered calendar days.
• The term sprinkler means any hose which is not held and directed by hand. There is no restriction on hand-held hoses but residents are asked to limit such use wherever possible.
• Only one tap may be used at a time to run a sprinkler or sprinkler systems.
• In the case of corner sections and double sections the day is to relate to the street number displayed and used as the property’s address.
• If no street number is allocated one will be given on application to the Assets and Services Department.

 

All households on the Renwick water supply need to adhere to these water restrictions now in place.
The restrictions will be in place until further notice.

The Council is also asking people to adopt water conservation habits.

Don’t leave automatic irrigation systems running for long periods.

Consider installing flow limiters to taps to reduce water volume.

If you have a timer on your irrigation system, irrigate at night between the hours of 10:00 pm and 5:00 am on your allocated irrigation day.
 

We ask everyone to think carefully about their water use and to cooperate with the Council’s request to observe restrictions. We realise this is the time of the year when everyone irrigates their lawns and gardens but hope everyone will do this in a responsible manner, observing the limits Council has put in place.
