localweather | Still super low water levels

We've had some rain although it was fine for the last two days. But the drought was so bad that there's no sign yet of the reservoirs refilling. I took this pic yesterday at the Nihotupu dam near where I live, and it's still really low - the water should be overflowing that concrete spillway lip.
I gather they're piping water from the Waikato river for the city, but it means there are water restrictions. Messages about that have gotten lost in all the pandemic furore, unfortunately. It's a bit cooler now - edging into cardigan or light jacket weather.
