Auckland's water drought is getting a small boost from Pukekohe's water bores
26 October 2020
They've been out of action since 2013, and Watercare has started drawing up to five million litres a day from the Hickeys water treatment plant.
Acting chief executive Marlon Bridge says the return of the bores puts Auckland in a good position heading into summer.
He says it will help by lessening the city's reliance on dam sources.
The dams are 67.5 percent full today.
