Take advantage of the lack of water restrictions while you can, is the message from Tararua District Council.
Water restrictions have been a constant in Dannevirke for several months but while flows in the Tamaki River remain stable, council have reduced the restrictions to 'Get Ready (No Restrictions)'
"We encourage Dannevirke residents to fill up their pools and/or water tanks and complete jobs like water blasting, while the water source is stable," a post on social media said.
It was "almost certain" that water restrictions would be required later in the year when the river went into low flows and a reduced volume of water in the impounded supply.
