Goulburn eases water restrictions after 3 years

4 July 2007

The NSW southern highlands city of Goulburn, which had come to symbolise the plight of the state's drought-stricken rural areas, has eased its water restrictions following June's heavy rain.

Level five water restrictions were downgraded to level three at a meeting of the Goulburn Mulwaree council last night. The move, which comes into effect at midnight tomorrow, will be welcomed by local farmers and residents who suffered the highest level of water restrictions for almost three years.

Phil Hansen, Goulburn Mulwaree's director of engineering services, said overall dam levels were now at 56 per cent capacity and warranted the easing of restrictions.
