We are experiencing a prolonged period of dry weather with a lack of rainfall predicted over the coming weeks.  Water restrictions are now in place and we ask residents to be very careful with their water use.

Take all practical steps to reduce your water usage. 

  • No sprinklers allowed.
  • Hand-held hosing only. 

Don’t use Council water supply to fill or top up your pools (including portable and paddling pools).

Use a broom instead of water to clean hard surfaces such as footpaths and driveways.

Avoid using water to wash windows, buildings and cars.

Reduce non-essential water use.

  • Use sprinklers on alternate days between 6-8am and 6-8pm (e.g. even street numbers on even days; odd street numbers on odd days).
