Saving water

Summer’s warm, dry weather can put pressure on our water supply, and El Niño may bring even drier conditions.

Now is the time to start good water-saving habits. We’re already seeing demand rising across our water network, and when we all make small changes, it adds up to a big impact that helps reduce the risk of water restrictions.

Water is precious. Water use by Selwyn households is very high – the average "household" uses over 675 litres per day. Every litre of water must be treated, stored, and delivered to your home. When we use less, we help reduce pressure on local supplies, treatment systems, and the environment.
