Level 5 water restrictions for Molong from November 4

Published on 24 October 2019

Level 5 water restrictions will come into effect in Molong from Monday 4 November 2019.

Cabonne Mayor Kevin Beatty said with no end in sight to the crippling drought, there have been no significant flows into Molong Creek Dam which is now at its lowest level since 2001.

“Council appreciates the efforts Molong residents have made to save water and we seek the community’s cooperation to continue to observe restrictions and make every drop count,” he said.

Under Level 5 restrictions, the water consumption target will be 160 litres per person per day.

The major differences from the current Level 4 restrictions include:

• No sprinklers, micro-sprays or soaker hoses can be used;

• Buckets, watering cans, drip systems or a hand-held hose may be used on gardens for 30 minutes between 6pm-7pm each Sunday.

• No filling or topping up swimming pools or water features; and

• No washing cars at home.

 Residents should visit the council’s website www.cabonne.nsw.gov.au for a detailed outline of Level 5 restrictions. Should anyone have any questions or require further information they should contact Council’s Engineering Department on (02) 6390 7100.
