Some good news in the gloom- water more available for gardeners.
Water restriction eased
Rain over the weekend has allowed the total garden watering ban in Masterton to be lifted.
Handheld hoses may now be used at any time, but Masterton District Council is urging gardeners to continue their water conservation efforts and not use water unnecessarily.
The rain has lifted levels in the Waingawa River, the source of Masterton’s drinking water.
Conditions can change quickly, and residents are asked to check the Masterton District Council website for updates to the restriction level.
Carterton has lifted its restrictions (so no restriction at present), South Wairarapa remaining on handheld hoses on alternate days.
