Z will install permanent water tanks to supply their car washes at Z Glen Innes, Z Pukekohe and Z Massey North from 31 August, with plans to roll them out across all their Auckland sites in the coming months, as COVID-19 restrictions permit.

Z Energy expects that once the tanks are up and running at all sites, they will save over 12 million litres of water annually and will operate alongside the water recycling systems the company already has in place.

Z Energy’s General Manager of Retail, Andy Baird says Z is committed to playing its part in helping address Auckland’s drought.

“It’s also likely that droughts will become more common as the impacts of climate change increase, so having water tanks and water recycling schemes in place in Auckland now, is one way we can respond to climate change, alongside working on speeding up the shift to low carbon transport options.”
