There are no water restrictions currently in place in the Lower Hunter.
Hunter Water’s Drought Management Plan outlines the four stages of water restrictions we would experience if water storage levels in our dams dropped.
The four stage are:
Stage 1 Restrictions
60% of total storage
|
Ban fixed sprinklers and limited hours use of hand held hoses |
Stage 2 Restrictions
50% of total storage
|
Same as Stage 1 with use of hand held hoses limited to 2 days per week. |
Stage 3 Restrictions
40% of total storage
|
Ban use of mains water for outdoor use. |
Stage 4 Restrictions
30% of total storage
|
Complete ban on outdoor use. |
