Thanks again to Martinborough residents! Your conservation efforts yesterday have been incredibly helpful!
While we have made great progress, we do ask that you continue to be mindful of your water use throughout the weekend to ensure the reservoir has the opportunity to refill. You can do your part to love every drop!
Also remember garden watering restrictions are in place (you can only water your garden on odd days if you live at an odd address, and even days if you live at an even address).

Repairs at the treatment plant have been successful, and we are currently working to bring the plant back online.

Repairs at the treatment plant have been successful, and we are currently working to bring the plant back online.
Thanks again to the residents of Martinborough for their conservation efforts so far. We continue to ask residents to keep their conservation efforts up through the weekend until Monday to assist with reservoir recovery.
Showering and washing clothes is okay, however please keep your showers short and only run full loads of washing.
Wellington Water have been working on an upgrade to the Martinborough water treatment plant and the work has taken longer than planned. As a result the reservoir is currently running low and we need residents and businesses to urgently conserve water.

As a result the reservoir is currently running low and we need residents and businesses to urgently conserve water.
We are making urgent repairs to get the plant back online. This means the supply to residents and businesses is limited throughout the town. Water should only be used for drinking, cooking and hygiene.
We ask that you avoid showers and baths, running washing machines and dishwashers, and avoid garden watering.
We thank you from your patience during this time.

The Boil Water Notice in Featherston will stay in place until further notice, which means after the network has been flushed and water testing and Regional Pubic Health confirm it can be lifted. The team is meeting this morning and we'll provide another update later today, as soon as we can.
There is NO Boil Water Notice in Greytown but residents there need to conserve water as the towns share a treatment plant.
