Use Less Water - Reservoir Not Coping with Demand
Use Less Water - Reservoir Not Coping with Demand
Residents in Ascot Park, Aotea, Waitangirua and parts of Cannons Creek and Whitby are being asked to go easy on water use for the next couple of days or risk running out.
Work to earthquake proof Porirua's main reservoir in Stemhead Lane, Whitby, means that the Ascot Park reservoir is temporarily providing water for the two catchments. Greater Wellington Regional Council has not been able to supply water quickly enough to keep up with the demand currently on the Ascot Park reservoir.
Households in these areas need to be sparing with their water use as water pressure is already dropping.
Try not to use large quantities of water during the peak flow times of 5pm-8pm and 6am-9am to avoid a loss of water.
The Council is working to restore the supply at Stemhead Lane and hopes to have this up and running by the weekend.
