Dear Customer,

Thank you for your email contacting us at Watercare.

1. Water is precious and even more so during the severe Auckland drought
that we are experiencing.

Please limit outside water use and follow the below tips:

•           Reduce your shower time – Shower usage is responsible for
approx. 30% of the water usage in your home.

•           Turn off your bathroom tap while brushing teeth or shaving –
This can use up to 5 litres of water everyday.

•           Change to water-efficient settings on your washing machine -
use the economy settings on your washing machine. Reducing the wash to one
rinse cycle rather than two will also save up to 100 litres of water per
wash!

•           Don’t wash small loads - wash full loads washing machines are
a large user of water.

•           Don’t leave taps running while using the sink in the kitchen,
use a bowl to scrub vegetables in the kitchen sink. You can then pour the
water on your plants.

•           Leave the water blaster in the shed and hold off washing the
car. Every drop you save makes a difference.

 

2. We will still be here:

If you have an urgent leak or wastewater issue please call us on 09 442
2222 and press 1

•           All leaks are attended to in order of priority and safety, not
necessarily in the order they are logged. If a leak you have reported gets
worse, please let us know via phone so we can advise our crew.

•           Click here to report a non-urgent fault.

We will do our very best to support Aucklanders during this difficult
time. Our billing and payments staff will continue to work from home
answering emails.

Emails will be responded to within 4 business days.
