State Officials have announced that water restrictions will be introduced starting next Monday. As a result of below average rainfall, lake reserves are now at their lowest levels in the last fifty years. The regional water management authority has issued the following water conversation measures:
All water users are required to restrict their water use
Public and privately-owned water utilities shall restrict the monthly use of water by their customers. They may do this by interrupting supply or by advising their clients on procedures to reduce their consumption.
Use of water for domestic gardens and yards is permitted on Wednesdays and Saturdays for residents with even house numbers, and on Mondays and Thursdays for residents with odd house numbers.
For agricultural businesses, irrigation is now limited to the hours between 7pm and midnight.
