Confusion over water restrictions

In some cases Toowoomba is in South East Queensland, and sometimes it isn’t.

The recent Level 5 water restrictions announced by the Queensland Water Commission to apply to South East Queensland do not apply to Toowoomba.

The Queensland Water Commission restrictions apply to residents and businesses in Beaudesert, Caboolture, Esk, Gatton, Kilcoy, Laidley and Pine Rivers shire councils and Ipswich, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Redcliffe and Logan city councils.

Toowoomba City Council introduced its own level 5 water restrictions on September 26 2006. Toowoomba’s Level 5 restrictions are more stringent than those introduced by the Queensland Water Commission.

Toowoomba residents are not allowed to do any outside watering unless they have their own rainwater supply whereas residents in those shires listed above can bucket water three days a week between 4pm and 7pm.

For more information on Toowoomba’s Level 5 water restrictions and tips on how to reduce household water consumption, please contact Council’s WaterWise section on 4688 6253 or visit the website on www.toowoomba.qld.gov.au.
