Welcome
An overview of the project — what's available and how to get involved.
Council and water authority websites vary widely in how they share water restriction information — it can be hard to find, inconsistently presented, or slow to update. This project aims to provide a clear, consistent view of restrictions for any area, covering 450+ areas across New Zealand.
What's here
Website →
Check water restrictions for areas across New Zealand, and see what rules apply.
API →
A REST API providing programmatic access to water restriction data across New Zealand — for apps, automations, and integrations.
Improving the data
Some areas are harder to monitor than others, and community reports can help keep the data accurate and up to date. If something looks wrong, let me know.
