Stage one water restrictions now in place for Scamander and Lady Barron

Stage one water restrictions now in place for Scamander and Lady Barron

Stage 1 water restrictions are now in effect for Scamander and Lady Barron, as dry conditions and peak summer demand continue to put pressure on local water supplies.

Under the restrictions, TasWater is asking residents and visitors to reduce non-essential water use by 20 per cent so there is enough water available for essential needs.

Stage one restrictions involve limits on watering gardens, washing vehicles, refilling pools and spas, and cleaning hard surfaces.

The restrictions start today and will remain in place until further notice.

TasWater Acting Head of Communications and Engagement Liz Hafner reducing water use is the best way to ensure there is enough water available for everyone.

“We always encourage Tasmanians, no matter where they live, to conserve water and ‘Save Our Thing’. We are encouraging every Tasmanian to save just 10 litres of water per person per day.

TasWater’s interactive Water Supply Status webpage provides regular updates on water levels and system performance across Tasmania. This tool helps residents stay informed and make responsible choices based on local conditions.
