From time to time council changes water restrictions to manage sustainable urban water supply. Restriction levels are communicated on a range from zero to four, with zero being the lowest and four the highest restriction level. The level for individual towns is based on a number of indicators, including the capacity and level of the towns’ water supply and detailed in the Water Restrictions Procedure.
The restrictions do not apply to greywater, rainwater or private bore water and properties with their own water allocation or licences.
