Rob McKaige, Acting Managing Director, South Gippsland Water said, “Despite rainfall recorded within all catchments, little run-off was generated due to the dry ground conditions and storages continued to decline. South Gippsland Water is encouraging customers to prepare now for a dry season and implement water saving behaviours”.
