The dry weather in Central Taranaki has finally taken its toll on the Stratford water
supply.
Stratford District Council will impose water restrictions from Thursday 7 December 2017.
Director of assets, Victoria Araba says "demand has grown to a level that means we must
impose water restrictions. This is in accordance with resource consent conditions".
The water restrictions apply to those using the Stratford, Toko or Midhirst water supply,
and mean a total ban on sprinkler and irrigation systems, and on unattended hoses.
Handheld hoses can be used depending on a resident's house number. Even numbered
houses on even days and odd numbered houses on odd days.
Residents are asked to help conserve water by turning off taps and fixing leaking taps
and pipes.
The restrictions remain in place until further notice.
