The Tararua District Council has made no changes to water restrictions in the district.
The Council says while there is some scattered rain forecast over the next 10 days, it is not expected to be substantial or prolonged and benefits to water supplies will be minimal.
Dannevirke and Pahiatua will remain at a Total Hosing Ban, while Norsewood will move to Alternate Evening restrictions.
Norsewood water consumption has remained high despite the introduction of restrictions, and Council says it will increase restrictions to try and bring down demand.

A number of students in the junior room at Dannevirke South School are now self-isolating following a probable case of COVID-19.
Earlier this week the probable case was confirmed, affecting the Te Kakano team, or rooms 1 to 4.
Home learning is now available for those self-isolating, or for those wo wish to keep their children at home.
In a post on the schools’ Facebook page, Principal Caroline Transom said the school will move to a hybrid delivery of teaching where learning at school and at home is almost the same.
An ‘At Home Teacher’ will be online and available for zoom calls and catch ups with students from 10am till 12pm each week day.
Parents of affected students are asked to organise an At Home Learning Pack if they hadn’t already done so.
