We all enjoy and rely on easy access to clean and fresh water. However, sometimes we can take our water for granted.

Myth: There is no need to conserve water in New Zealand

Excessive fresh water use comes at a cost to you, and to the environment. Even areas of high rainfall, (such as the West Coast of the South Island), face the cost of filtering and supplying clean water. Areas such as Canterbury are facing even more issues due to the low rainfall.
