Tasman District Council
30 March, 2023
Water restrictions have been lifted for residents on council water supplies in Waimea, Wakefield and their rural extensions with immediate effect on Thursday 30 March
The announcement applies to residents on Council water supplies in Richmond, Brightwater, Hope, Wakefield, Redwood Valley and Māpua / Ruby Bay.
This also applies to Nelson residents living on Champion Road, the Wakatu Industrial Estate and parts of Saxton Road West, where water is supplied from the Richmond Water Supply Scheme.
Water users in the affected areas had previously been under Phase A restrictions, prompted by uncertain rain forecasts and Council concerns around exceeding the amount of water it could extract from its intakes.
However, the measures taken to reduce the level of abstraction in recent weeks had provided the necessary shift beyond the risk area for any exceedance.
We will continue to monitor water usage and rainfall, so restrictions may be implemented again in the future.
We want to thank everyone for doing their part to conserve water over the summer months.
