Level four water restrictions for White Cliffs

White Cliffs will move from Level three water restrictions to Level four restrictions on Monday October 27 2025.


This is because of drought conditions, limited above ground storage and minimal rainfall expected.


People are asked to minimise their water usage.


The town water supply is sourced from the Wakefield Tank.


Level 4 Restrictions are as follows:

• Watering systems, not permitted

• Watering between 6am and 9am and 6pm and 9pm

• Washing vehicles by:

(a) means of a bucket or watering can filled directly from a tap (and not by

means of a hose); or

(b) by means of a trigger hose, used only for the purpose of wetting, and

rinsing a vehicle after it has been washed; or

(c) to clean inside a tank of a tanker vehicle by means of a trigger hose,

where such cleaning is necessary, either to avoid contamination of the

tanker's contents or to ensure public safety.


• Construction Activities - water may only be used for the following:

(a) for the purpose of compaction by means of a trigger hose

(b) for the purpose of dust suppression


• Windows and building facades - by a bucket or watering can filled directly from

a tap (and not by means of a hose) unless it is necessary to do so because of

an accident, fire, or other emergency.


In cases of extreme hardship, Central Darling Shire Council will consider requests for exemptions.


These restrictions are enforceable, and penalties, including disconnection, will be imposed upon those who do not comply.
