Water restrictions were eased in both Tararua and Central Hawke’s Bay heading into the Easter break.
The Tararua District Council said from last Thursday there were no water restrictions in the district, with the exception of Akitio.
Akitio would remain on a Total Outdoor Ban until tomorrow, which is normal practice for this time of year.
Mayor Tracey Collis said Council appreciate the ongoing efforts of residents to conserve water, and ask everyone to continue to be mindful of their consumption to avoid the need to reinstate restrictions.
In CHB, restrictions have moved from Level 3 to Level 2.
At Level 2 outdoor watering can take place on alternate days, at limited times.
Details of the Level 2 restrictions are available on the CHB District Council website and Facebook page.
