Harsher water cuts planned for ACT sprinklers
The ACT will enforce automatic sprinkler bans at midnight restricting watering of City Hill Latrobe Park Blamey Crescent Park and other suburbs. Hand held hoses will be allowed with no curb on non essential use, while Commonwealth bodies face a 25 percent cut. Parks and gardens will still use some auto sprinklers to cover large areas. Lake Burley Griffin supply will supplement with about 5 million gallons daily. Weather forecasts expect slight warmth with no immediate rain. Bushfire risk remains high.
