Permanent water conservation measures

Permanent Water Conservation Measures apply in the ACT from today Monday 1 November and have replaced Stage 2 Water Restrictions.

Permanent Water Conservation Measures are commonsense rules for water use which are in place when water restrictions are not required. The measures provide flexibility while mandating against activities which are wasteful such as hosing down hard surfaces and excessive garden and lawn watering.

These commonsense measures help our community meet the water saving targets set out in the ACT's long-term water resource management strategy Think water, act water.
