Dubbo Region moves to level 3 water restrictions. We know there are already large numbers of people who are working from home and there will be the need to self-isolate when the virus reaches Dubbo so it is only natural that people will need to use more water,” Councillor Shields said.“This will allow for more handwashing, more washing of clothes and more general cleaning around the home. "This is the first time water restrictions have been enforced to such an extent in Dubbo, with council redesigning its drought management plan to include new classifications up to level 6 and new definitions for what each level entails. However, in a statement released in the wake of the meeting, council says the desire to move to level four restrictions was heard "loud and clear" from speakers at its public forum in front of a "packed gallery". "Dubbo has never really had water restrictions to this extent before so they don't really understand it. Residents are reminded that under level 3 water restrictions that WASHING DOWN WALLS OR PAVED AREAS IS NOT PERMITTED and full loads of washing are encouraged in order to conserve water. Clr. The feedback prompted Councillor Dayne Gumley to move that the restrictions be bumped up to level four - categorised as "very high" - from November 1.

Dubbo Regional Council introduced 'level four' water restrictions on November 1 Residents could no longer water lawns and had to have only five-minute showers On … The city in central west NSW is projected to be among the first in the state to lose its supply of drinking water, News Corp previously reported, and the unrelenting drought has prompted council to vote to move from level two to level four water restrictions within the space of one month. The decision was made Dubbo Regional Council's meeting on Monday night, after Mayor Ben Shields moved to introduce level three water restrictions from October 1. Thankfully the recent rain has provided us with some critical inflows in the Burrendong Dam catchment and allowed us to move to level 3,” Councillor Shields said.“I know businesses like nurseries, turf farms, pool shops and others were heavily impacted when level 4 restrictions were enacted so I hope they will benefit from the changes.“However there isn’t room for complacency, especially for residential usage.
