Water restrictions are being introduced in the township of Taralga from today.
Â
The Upper Lachlan council is reporting that there has been an escalated decrease in the town's water supply and as such Level 2 water restrictions have been imposed.
Â
As of yesterday, Taralga's dam level was at approximately 60 per cent capacity.
Â
Shire council acting general manager, Andrew Croke says restrictions will be closely monitored and reassessed each week.
Â
As of today in Taralga, sprinkler and fixed hose usage is banned, there is no filling or topping up of private swimming pools and no washing of cars by hose is permitted.
Â
As well, the watering of stock from the town water supply is not allowed.
Â
The level 2 restrictions mean that water use by micro-sprays is permitted for 15 minutes and one hand-held hose can be used for one hour a day.
Â
This can be from 7 to 8 in the morning or from 6.30 to 7.30 in the evening.
