Due to the ongoing dry weather conditions, WAF is focusing on minimizing the impacts on service delivery as much as possible and to maintain reservoir levels, valve operations will be carried out.

According to WAF, the water rationing exercise will continue until the dry weather conditions end.

Water supply will normalize from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. daily to allow customers to store sufficient amounts of water to sustain them until supply is restored.

The Authority says that water restrictions are still in place, prohibiting the use of water for car washing, gardening, new turf irrigation, swimming pool top-ups, and washing hard surfaces such as driveways and footpaths.
