Philippe du Plessis, Managing Director, South Gippsland Water said, “With continued dry weather and minimal rainfall, storages have been impacted by the dry spring, with 5 of 6 systems now below 90% capacity.  The drawdown of water resources started earlier than usual and South Gippsland Water is encouraging customers to prepare now for a dry season and implement water saving behaviours”.

Make sure to;

• Water during the cool – between the hours of 6pm and 10am
• Check hoses have trigger nozzles and do not leak
• Sweep, don’t hose, paved areas & hard surfaces
