Update 2: Saturday 13 July 2024 08:30am

The Dannevirke Water Treatment Plant continues to produce water and the reservoir is replenishing nicely.

As a result of this good progress Dannevirke residents are no longer being asked to urgently conserve water. Please use water as for your normal daily routine and, like normal, be water wise.

We would like to thank all the water conservation hero's that supported our request to conserve water overnight.
