Declining water levels at the South Burnett’s two dams have forced the South Burnett Regional Council to keep current water restrictions in place

July 12, 2017

The South Burnett Regional Council has reminded residents that water restrictions in the region are still at Level 3.

The restrictions are in force because of declining water levels at Bjelke-Petersen Dam (currently at 22.19 per cent of capacity) and Boondooma Dam (49.45 per cent).

The restrictions mean that no sprinklers can be used.

Hand-held watering hours have been adjusted for winter are now permitted from 7:00am-8:00am and 5:00pm-6:00pm 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.
