Stratford Faces Water Restrictions
The dry weather in central Taranaki has finally taken its toll on the Stratford water supply.
Stratford District Council will impose water restrictions from Wednesday 6 March 2013. Services Asset Manager, Mike Oien says “River levels have dropped to the level that means we must impose water restrictions.”
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 your house number. Even numbered houses on even days and odd numbered houses on odd days.
The restrictions remain in place until further notice. The last water restrictions imposed for Stratford District was in November 2010.
