Sydney desal plant restart ahead of schedule as dam levels continue slide l p_hannam

, has been supplying water to Sydney's network for about six weeks. Production is now between 300 and 400 million litres per week.

"We’ve had extremely low volumes of water entering our rivers and storages," a Sydney Water spokesman said. Professor Khan said authorities are planning for level 1 water restrictions to kick in from about August - even with the desal plant operating at full tilt - assuming below-average rainfall continues and dam levels drop below 50 per cent full., the voluntary Water Wise Rules will become mandatory at that point. These include restricting the watering of gardens by hoses fitted with a trigger nozzle to before 10am and after 4pm.

Per capita water use is about 200 litres a day, down from 250 before the Millennium Drought, Sydney Water says.
