Water restrictions to be eased

The recent deluge has restored some much-needed supplies in our local dams, so current water restrictions will be turned down a notch from Level 2 to Level 1 from next Monday, February 24.

Total dam reserves are now at 62.6% of capacity, so while we’re not out of the woods yet, we’re certainly in a better position than we were a few weeks ago.

Here’s a reminder of the basic (and somewhat common sense!) Level 1 restrictions:
?? Outdoor watering is permitted before 10am or after 4pm with a trigger nozzle hose
?? All hand held hoses must have a trigger nozzle
?? No hosing of hard surfaces such as concrete, paths and driveways
?? All vehicles should be washed with a bucket, trigger nozzle hose or pressure cleaner
?? No sprinklers are to be used.
