• Only water the garden, including using sprinklers, before 10 am or after 4 pm. This avoids watering during the hottest part of the day, when water wastage and evaporation is high.
• Trigger nozzles to be used on all handheld hoses. Trigger nozzles provide more control over water flow and reduce wastage.
• Avoid hosing down hard surfaces, such as concrete, paths and driveways. Use a broom or leaf blower, or if water is required, use a high-pressure cleaner or water efficient nozzle.
• Periods of Everyday Waterwise Guidelines are not enforced by Council but residents are encouraged to reduce their water use in line with the Waterwise guidelines to reduce the impact of the drought going forward.
