Ban on outdoor water use in Okato
A ban on watering gardens and washing the car is about to come into force for residents in a coastal Taranaki town.
New Plymouth District Council is restricting outdoor water use in Okato because of low river levels. The ban starts on Wednesday. Residents cannot water gardens or wash cars and house windows while the ban is in place, NPDC chief operating officer Kelvin Wright said.
New Plymouth district is currently under water restrictions, with handheld hoses permitted on the odds and evens address system. The use of sprinklers, irrigation systems and unattended hoses is banned.
Wright asked Oakura residents to cut back on how much water they use and keep to the odds and evens system for hand-held hoses.
