The South Burnett Regional Council reminded residents today that Level 2 Water Restrictions are still in force throughout the South Burnett Region in all town areas.
“The Boondooma and Bjelke-Petersen Dams are at less than 50 per cent capacity,” Mayor Keith Campbell said.
“These are our main sources for town water supplies in the region, so we need to ensure we conserve water wherever possible.”
Level 2 Restrictions do not allow for sprinklers to be used.
Hand-held watering is permitted from 6:00am to 8:00am, and 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays for odd-numbered houses and Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays for even numbered houses.
No residential watering is permitted on Mondays.
Council warned that it would be increasing patrols over the next few months and would “commence compliance activities as required”.
