St George Water Restrictions

Level 3 Water Restrictions for the St George River Water Supply will commence Monday 17 February 2020.

St George Water Restriction Policy 

Level 3 Water Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to the use of water supplied through the water reticulation system in the town of St George for outside use.  The St George Water Restriction Policy is also applicable to the outdoor use of the St George bore water.

Open ended unattended hoses must NOT be used at any time.  Householders can water using hand held hoses, watering cans, buckets or water from a rainwater tank at any time.

Council staff monitor compliance with the water restrictions.  A first offence will incur a written warning on Level 2 and Level 1 restrictions only.  Subsequent offences will result in an infringement notice to the individual in breach of the water restriction.  No written warning will be provided for breaches on Level 3 through to Level 6 restrictions and a first offence will result in an infringement notice.

Use of water by fixed systems NOT drawing on the reticulated town water supply such as a property bore should be accompanied by appropriate signage clearly visible from the street adjoining the property being watered.

This Notice of Water Restriction Level 3 (Summer) does not apply to reasonable actions taken to prevent material risks associated with an accident, fire or hazard to health, safety or the environment.
