A small Southland town is in danger of running out of water unless residents make some drastic changes to how much they're using.

Mossburn, which is between Queenstown and Te Anau, relies on two bores for its supply and one of them has run dry.

Southland District Councillor John Douglas lives near the town and talks to Jesse about the dry conditions across the region.
