Level 6 Restrictions
Level 6 water restrictions apply in South East Queensland from 23 November 2007.
The Level 6 package includes:
- Workplace compliance through fines and audits
- New public reporting on the performance of businesses, councils and residents
- Water at work campaign where residents take their savings to work
- New water restrictions to make sure everyone is saving
- Target 140 campaign to maintain residential savings
- Excessive water user program with penalties for households using more than 800 litres a day.
What does Level 6 mean for residents?
Saving water is everyone’s business and residents must continue to use water efficiently to target 140 litres a day. Many of the Level 5 restrictions remain unchanged, however a complete outdoor watering ban may be necessary if our performance under Target 140 falters.
We're asking residents to continue to save water indoors and outdoors as the weather heats up.
Restriction highlights include:
- owners of new pools and spas must submit written proof it was filled with water sourced outside drought-affected SEQ council areas. The premise must also have water efficient appliances installed
- gardens can only be watered with buckets during the existing allocated times
- vehicles can be washed commercially or with a bucket only to spot clean mirrors, lights, glass and number plates and to remove potentially paint damaging marks
