Christchurch City Council is introducing level one water restrictions in Akaroa on 5 December 2015.
This means Akaroa residents with odd-numbered street addresses can water their gardens on odd-numbered days of the month, and those with even-numbered street addresses can water on
even-numbered days.
Most water supplies in Banks Peninsula are fed by streams, which are usually at their lowest when the summer demand is at its highest. This puts a strain on the water supply.
Christchurch City Council asks Banks Peninsula residents and visitors to conserve water. If the situation becomes more serious, it is possible the level of restriction will need to be increased.
Any change to the level of restriction will be advertised on the water restriction signs in Akaroa, via the newspaper, at www.ccc.govt.nz(external link) or by calling (03) 941 8999 or 0800 800 169 for information.
