It's been an easy start to the summer for water carriers across the region.
Frank Veldhuizen from Kaikohe Water Supply The Waterboys said there had been quite a bit of rain in the last few weeks which has kept people's tanks topped up.
He covers the Kaikohe and Hokianga areas and said he is delivering a couple of loads a day, but usually he would be busier.
"This time last year we were quite hectic. You look around and the paddocks are still green."
He is expecting demand to pick up as summer continues.
