Due to the high consumption of water, rapidly falling creek levels and low rainfall across the region, Cassowary Coast Regional Council must impose Level 2 water restrictions on all business and domestic customers effective immediately.
Mayor Kremastos, on the recommendation of Council’s Director of Infrastructure Services David Goodman, announced the following restriction:
“We have had to impose Level 2 water restrictions to try to restrict water consumption. I ask residents to observe these restrictions so we do not have to go to Level 3 in the event of low or no rainfall.”
Under Level 2 restrictions, no watering of gardens is permitted on Mondays, whether by manual or automated sprinklers, microspray or drip water systems or hand-held hoses.
Odd-numbered houses may use sprinklers on Tuesday and Saturdays between 6am and 7am and 6pm and 7pm only. Even-numbered houses may use sprinklers on Wednesdays and Sundays between 6am and 7am and 6pm and 7pm only.
Hand-held hoses, fitted with a trigger nozzle, may be used on any day except Mondays. Watering cans or buckets can be used at any time.
Other household and business activities are affected by these restrictions.
Please refer to Council’s Shedule of Water Restriction Levels here for further details.
