A level-four restriction is in place in Napier, which means no outdoor or garden water use (including hoses and sprinklers) at all, for at least the next few days.

We may be seeing the beginning of the story of the Summer in NZ.

Jon Kingsford is the director of infrastructure for Napier City Council and explains the current situation to The Panel.
