Level 3 water restrictions apply to:
-
SA Water customers supplied with River Murray water and those on the southern Fleurieu
-
Water taken directly from the River Murray for domestic use, including water used by shack owners
-
Under level 3 water restrictions householders are able to use drippers and hand-held hoses fitted with a trigger nozzle on their gardens and lawns for a maximum of three hours a week. However, householders are encouraged to water their garden only when it is needed rather than watering for the full three hour period.
New watering times commenced on Sunday 6 April 2008 to coincide with the end of daylight saving. From 6 April the enhanced level 3 watering hours for drippers and hand-held hoses fitted with a trigger nozzle are:
Even numbered houses - Saturday 7-10am or 4-7pm
Odd numbered houses - Sunday 7-10am or 4-7pm
Watering cans and buckets can be used at any time. Sprinklers and other watering systems are not allowed.
Permits are available for those having difficulty adhering to water restrictions due to age or disability.

There are no restrictions on the use of water from rainwater tanks and the temporary bucketing and hosing of greywater will continue to be permitted in line with the requirements of the Department of Health.
