Back to level 3 water restrictions today

From today, Eurobodalla has moved back to level 3 water restrictions.

Eurobodalla Council’s director of infrastructure Warren Sharpe said the easing from level 4 to level 3 restrictions was a result of increased water in the shire’s Deep Creek Dam supply.

“Recent heavy rains have seen water flowing in our rivers, allowing us to resume pumping. Deep Creek Dam is currently back to just over 60 percent capacity,” Mr Sharpe said.

“However, we are by no means home free. It will take a lot more rain and several months of pumping before we can ease restrictions further. If rain fails to fall, a return to level 4 restrictions is possible.”

Under level 3 water restrictions, outdoor water use is banned, except:

One hand held hose for all gardening, up to 60 minutes per day between either 6-8am or 6-8pmOne hand held hose to top up existing private pools and spas fitted with covers, up to 60 minutes per day between either 6-8am or 6-8pmWashing private vehicles or flushing boat motors on grass area with buckets and a final rinse with trigger-nozzle hose.
