With summer heating up, it's crucial that we conserve water to ensure a sustainable supply for everyone, especially during the hotter months when water usage significantly increases.
Why do we implement summer water restrictions?
Summer water restrictions help manage high demand and ensure our treatment plants can meet needs while protecting water sources. The largest water usage comes from outdoor activities like irrigating gardens and lawns. The "Watch the Drops" programme uses a traffic light system to show the level of demand and guide the community in using water wisely. By following these restrictions, we can ensure a sustainable water supply for everyone throughout the summer. Let’s work together to conserve water and protect this vital resource.
