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.

About 70 of Metlink’s 500 bus drivers are aged 70 or over and in accordance with the Ministry of Health guidelines, they are advised to remain at home. Less drivers means there will need to be cancellations to some services across the bus network.
