There are four levels of water restrictions. The strongest restriction bans all outdoor water use and encourages the reduction of indoor water use. This does not affect the Kāpiti coast area.
What you need to know:
- A level two water restriction means a ban will now be placed on irrigation and sprinklers, and gardens only being hand-watered, according to Wellington Water.
- Wellington, Porirua, Hutt City, Upper Hutt City and South Wairarapa have all since moved to a level two restriction.
- The decision was made due to “a very high demand” for water, peaking at 95 million litres on Tuesday, Wellington Water said.
- The region’s water treatment plants can only treat and supply a certain amount of safe drinking water on any given day. The increase in demand and the ongoing high number of leaks is putting pressure on the network and the ability to supply enough safe drinking water. Increasing heat may put further pressure on the water system.
- The restrictions only applied to residential properties but Wellington Water asked businesses across the region to take steps to reduce water usage where possible.
- Level four restrictions currently had a 33% chance of being imposed.
Please note, these restrictions do not apply to Kāpiti residents as water meters were introduced there in 2014, and the Waikanae River recharge scheme has aided this region.

Smoke was also reported in the Hutt Valley and the Wellington coastal suburb of Miramar.
What you need to know:
- Fenz was alerted to the blaze at 11.04pm on Thursday, and the first crews arrived by about 11.10pm.
- About 7.15am Friday, Fire and Emergency NZ said eight crews were still working to bring the vegetation fire under control. Helicopters with monsoon buckets would also be working on Friday morning.
- The fire was burning over about 10ha in Whitireia Park, and people were asked to stay away from the area. No homes were at risk, Fenz said.
- Residents in Wellington’s northern suburbs woke to the sight of a red glow in the sky and the smell of smoke in the air.
- Commuters travelling into Wellington city from the north were also driving through heavy smoke over the motorway in the central Porirua area.
- Fenz said smoke was affecting a large part of Porirua, and the National Public Health Service had advised that people in an area where there was smoke should go inside, close the windows and doors and turn off air conditioning units. Anyone who had been exposed to the smoke and was feeling unwell should contact Healthline (0800 611 116) or ring their doctor for advice.
Beware of inhaling smoke:
People should avoid exposure to smoke if possible.
Smoke may irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and airways. Symptoms could include watery or sore eyes, dry or sore throat, sore nose, cough, tightness of the chest or difficulty breathing. In healthy people, most symptoms disappeared soon after exposure to smoke ended and did not cause long-term health problems. Smokers, the elderly, children, and those with heart disease, asthma or other lung disease were at the greatest risk of harm from smoke inhalation.
