Water restrictions across the district remain at Level 2. The temperatures may be getting cooler but the lack of consistent rain means it’s still really dry and the demand for water is still quite high.

Residents on town supply are being asked to be careful with their water use. The water supply is still under some pressure and we need everyone to continue using water only where it is needed and not be wasteful.

Keep those water saving habits going! At Level 2:

• Sprinklers and garden irrigation systems can only be used on alternate days (even street numbers on even days; odd street numbers on odd days) between the hours of 6am-8am and 6pm-8pm.
• Watering by hand can take place anytime but don’t leave hoses unattended and use a trigger nozzle.
