Starting on December 10th, 2019, Level 2 water restrictions will take place in Sydney, The Blue Mountains and Illawarra.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian stated that we would usually enforce Level 2 water restrictions start when dam levels drop to 40%.
“Given the rapid rate of decline of our dam levels, we have decided to enact the next level of restrictions sooner than planned,” says Ms Berejiklian. The Level 2 water restrictions will take place when regional dam levels reach 45%, which is expected to be in mid-December 2019.
- Garden: you can only water your garden with a watering can or bucket before 10am or after 4pm
- Irrigation Systems: before 10am and after 4pm are the only acceptable times in which you can use smart and drip irrigation systems for 15 minutes only
- Hoses: unattended hoses are no longer permitted
- Hosing: unless in an emergency, hosing of hard surfaces is not permitted
- Car Washing: cars can only be washed at a commercial car wash or with a bucket
