Water Minister Melinda Pavey on Tuesday announced that level one restrictions would be imposed across Greater Sydney for the first time in almost a decade, starting from Saturday.
“With the lack of rain, with the lowest inflows into Sydney’s water storages since 1940, the government’s come to the decision that it is best to come into water restrictions,” Ms Pavey told reporters. Rules will also apply to the hosing of hard surfaces, the washing of vehicles, boats and buildings, the use of sprinklers and watering systems and filling new or renovated pools.
A range of exemptions will also be available to businesses in situations where water is critical to their operations, Sydney Water’s Catherine Port said. It’s been almost 10 years since Sydney faced water restrictions with the last ones lifted in mid-2009.
