Nelson residents may have to start conserving water
Nelson residents may have to start conserving water
30 December 2018
Nelson City Council says the recent dry, warm weather has seen some river levels drop to within 10% of the trigger point for rural water restrictions.
Rural water restrictions could affect approximately 500 households that take their water directly from streams and from bores within 20m of a stream.
Monitoring is continuing and in the absence of significant or sustained rain, the Council says restrictions could be necessary within the next two weeks.
