Sydney will experience the strictest water restrictions in a decade when the new rules come into effect this week

“It's pretty easy to feel estranged from the drought in the city when you can turn the tap on and brush your teeth. We're not the ones worrying where our next glass of water is coming from.”

Sydney will experience the strictest water restrictions in a decade when the new rules come into effect. With the Bureau of Meteorology forecasting a hot, dry summer, restrictions will be enforced in the Greater Sydney, Blue Mountains and Illawarra areas.No hosing of gardens: you can use only a watering can or bucket to water your garden before 10am and after 4pm.

One such measure is using grey water - water collected from showers, baths, sinks and washing machines. Ryde mother-of-two Tanya Lazarou is also teaching her older child, Logan, 4, about water conservation.

How good is Sydney now? Thanks climate denying planet wreckers australiaburns

Good water saving recommendations but I googled the frozen jeans ones (never heard it before!) and looks like it's a myth ? Anyway, we should be recycling way more water💧 The fact that we 💩 on drinking water and flush it away seems crazy

How's that desalination plant going? Remember, that thing we all paid for, and I thought, were continuing to pay for...?

A decade? Who can remember that far back? It must be a catastrophe!

How had it come to this? If Berejiklan should have been focused on ensuring water security rather than building stadiums and toy trains. Resign.
