National water regulator keeps close eye on capital water woes
❄
The country's water services regulator says Wellington Water's actions over the next eight months will be critical to ensure the capital has enough drinking water.
But Taumata Arowai head of regulatory Steve Taylor says the Wellington metropolitan area may still face water restrictions next summer.
"We all share the same goal: ensuring the community has enough water to meet households' basic needs and that public health is not put at risk. It's essential that appropriate, incremental actions are taken over the next six to eight months to support this."
