Water restrictions in Dannevirke have been reduced.

The Tararua District Council moved the town to Level 3 restrictions after being on Level 4 since January.

The move to Level 3 means residents can use the likes of garden hoses for watering on alternate evenings.

Meanwhile the Council has lifted all water restrictions in Akitio.
