Hope springs to ease water restrictions for millions

8 February 2008

As Gold Coast residents enjoy free outdoor water use from today, the Queensland Water Commission said the rest of the region would follow suit.

"We are very close now to be able to relax restrictions generally in the rest of southeast Queensland," chief executive John Bradley said.
