Tourists asked to 'keep it quick' in shower
26 October 2007
Tourists coming to south-east Queensland will be asked to do their bit to save water in the drought-hit region.
Queensland Water Commission chairwoman Elizabeth Nosworthy said a new proposal would require accommodation providers in the state's south-east to install signs in bathrooms.
The signs would ask tourists to limit their showers to four minutes and not to leave the tap running while brushing their teeth or shaving.
To date there have been no uniform measures to encourage tourists to save water and information campaigns and signage has been provided by individual councils.
The new proposal was put forward after the commission received feedback from the tourism industry and the public.

Sensible suggestions but does anyone really think that Anna and all her mates are keeping it down to 4 mins each day ...

Why then does a hotel in brisbane tell you to run the hot water tap for 30 mins because they have plumbing problems.
Yes 30 mins! And I rang Brisbane City Council, and they didn't want to know!

Brisbane level 6 details out next month
26 October 2007
Queensland Water Commissioner Elizabeth Nosworthy says she will release the final details of Brisbane's level six water restrictions by early November.
The draft recommendations for level six were released late last month and have been under consultation with business and community groups.
Ms Nosworthy she might opt for compulsory water-warning signs for hotel rooms in the package.
"We expect to finalise the package and have it released within two weeks," he said.
"In relation to this particular proposed restriction we're looking at that and talking to tourism bodies, but apart from that restriction I'm not anticipating there'll be any major changes."
