One dam, in the Waitakere Ranges, is only 27% full. The boat ramp, usually used to access the lake, doesn't get close to the water surface. It hasn't been this empty since 1994.
Auckland has had just 35% of its normal rainfall this year which is the reason for the low levels.
The new by-laws in Auckland means sprinklers, water blasters and car washes are all banned. All outdoor hoses are banned.
