Queenstown’s council has put water restrictions in place, with immediate effect.
The Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) said this evening it had implemented water restrictions for the district, and was asking the community to conserve water as much as possible.
The Water Alert Level 1 restrictions require residents and visitors to:
- Keep hand-held hosing to a minimum at all times;
- Only use irrigation sprinklers between midnight and 6am, when general demand is at its lowest.
