The water level 10-day average fell below the mean sea level, triggering the implementation of Stage 2 drought restrictions.
Residents must reduce water intake by 20% and are permitted to water their property and wash their cars once per week based on the last number of their home address under Stage 1 restrictions, which will remain in effect.
Under Stage 2 restrictions, the use of hoses, sprinklers and other irrigation systems is restricted to before 10 a.m. and after 8 p.m., whereas in Stage 1, it was allowed any time of day.
