Find out what your current reticulated water restrictions are.(external link)
When conditions are dry and there is a risk of low river flows and/or seawater intrusion into aquifers, we consider restrictions for water use through a forum called the Dry Weather Task Force (DWTF). The task force is made up of water user representatives and council staff.
During an emergency, we may restrict or prohibit the use of water for any specified purpose, for any specified period, and for any or all users.
We let people know by public notice, Newsline, on our website, social media and other channels.
The Council may enact penalties over and above those contained in the Water Supply Bylaw conditions to enforce these restrictions.

These restrictions apply to the use of the public water supply at residential premises.
Read the phases for businesses here and for public organisations here. There are some differences.
