Matamata-Piako will move up to a level two water restriction unless the district gets some decent rain. The Matamata-Piako District is heading towards an increase in its water restriction level. As high temperatures continue, the district will move into level two water restriction on Tuesday, February 2. Matamata-Piako District Council’s water and waste water manager Karl Pavlovich said the water supply is under considerable pressure and significant water savings are required. Watering on alternate days means residents whose street address number is even should water on days with even dates in the month, odd letter box numbers can water on days with odd dates.
