Low water use and lower restrictions

Melburnians only used 134 litres of water per person, per day this week - well under Target 155. Low use has continued across Melbourne as storages increase and an easing of water restrictions was announced.

From September 1 Melbourne will change to Stage 2 water restrictions. This means increased flexibility to water your garden. Households will also be able to apply for a 28 day exemption from water restrictions to establish warm season grasses.

But remember - watering lawns with drinking water is still prohibited.
