Answer 1

Restrictions relief along Murray

North East Water’s Murray River towns will revert to Stage 3 water restrictions next week, providing customers with an extra six hours of watering per week.

A combination of December rain, an increase in allocation and a reduction in the price of temporary water entitlements has allowed restrictions to be relaxed in Wodonga, Yarrawonga, Rutherglen, Tallangatta and Bellbridge as of 15 January 2008.

Customers in the affected towns will be individually notified of the change by mail, including the full details of allowable water uses under Stage 3.

The Following Compulsory Restrictions Apply To Stage 3:

Residential or Commercial Garden or Lawn

1. A garden area must not be watered except by means of:

a) a manual dripper watering system which operates only as required within the hours of 6.00am and 8.00am, and 8.00pm and 10.00pm on:

either or both of Sunday and Wednesday for a property with an odd street number; or

either or both of Saturday and Tuesday for a property with an even street number or a property without a street number.

Note: On Monday, Thursday and Friday no watering is permitted.)

b) an automatic dripper watering system which operates only as required within the hours of midnight and 4.00am, on;

either or both of Sunday and Wednesday for a property with an odd street number; or

either or both of Saturday and Tuesday for a property with an even street number or a property without a street number.

(Note: On Monday, Thursday and Friday no watering is permitted.)

2. A lawn area must not be watered at any time.

3. A garden area must not be watered except by means of a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle, or watering can or bucket filled either by a hand-held hose fitted with a trigger nozzle or directly from a tap, and then only as required within the hours of 6.00am and 8.00am, and 8.00pm and 10.00pm on:

either or both of Sunday and Wednesday for a property with an odd street number; or

either or both of Saturday and Tuesday for a property with an even street number or a property without a street number.

(Note: On Monday, Thursday and Friday no watering is permitted.)
