Daylight Saving starts

Daylight saving begins Sunday 25 September at 2am – put your clock forward 1 hour.

Water Restriction Level 1 – Use sprinklers every other day

Outdoor water restrictions start at Level 1. If you live in an even numbered house, you can use sprinklers or irrigation systems only on even numbered days between 6-8am and 7-9pm. If you live in an odd numbered house, the same rules apply for odd numbered days.

You can use handheld watering devices any time, on any day, so long as you don’t leave them unattended.

Water Restriction Level 1 applies all year round for Upper Hutt and South Wairarapa (Martinborough, Greytown and Featherston). Level 1 applies during Daylight Saving months (September – April) for Lower Hutt, Wellington City and Porirua.
