Some Water Conservation Ideas
Toilets
- if it’s brown flush it down otherwise put the seat down and leave it.
Sinks
- put bowls in every sink and shower to catch your run off. Even with detergent
you can still use the run off to water the garden. Use a small cup of water for
cleaning your teeth rather than keeping the tap running.
Dishwashers
- put them on the eco setting and only switch on when full. You may think the
right thing to do is handwash but your machine actually uses less water. However if you are
using the sink in the bowl technique the dirty water may be keeping your garden going.
Garden
- use the run off from other washing activities or maybe it’s just time to stop watering unless you have
other sources of non-drinking water. It’s sad to lose things in the garden but you can
prevent evaporation by mulching.
Housework
- dry cleaning with microfibre cloths even on your floors will keep the
house looking nice. Otherwise give yourself a break until the water tank is full!
Showers
- Put a bucket in with you to capture the run off or shower at your gym or at
work. Friends and family on town water may be happy to share their facilities if things
are getting really tight.
Limit showers and the time in the shower, turning it off whilst
you soap saves a lot of water.
Otherwise go back to a sponge or flannel wash to keep yourself fresh between showers.
Clothes Washing
- use the launderette instead. There are two in Warkworth plus
Backpackers in Omaha Flats have offered the use of their coin operated machines.
You can also freshen up clothes by hanging on the line in the sun.
-if you use your washing machine divert the runoff into a bin and use on the garden.

2019 New dog regulations came into law as of 1st November and these are now consistent throughout Auckland. New restricted summer hours of 10am to 6-30pm will now be enforced each year from the 1st December to 1st March. All current ‘on-leash’ and ‘prohibitive areas’ will still stand. Access rules will be sorted out by Local Boards next year. Ideas will be sought from the community. Matakana Volunteer Fire Brigade - urgent call for volunteers We really need your support to be able to provide the community with staff on the firetruck or first response medical vehicle for emergency call outs. Imagine having no local emergency responders in Matakana, Point Wells, Tawharanui and Omaha because we have no volunteers to crew the trucks.
