Water restrictions during a bushfire
If fire is threatening your property, water restrictions will be waived in defence of your home.
Drinking water
We recommend you keep a supply of drinking water available throughout summer in case your water supply is interrupted. A good idea is to keep jugs of water in your fridge.
For further advice
For information and advice on preparing your family and home for the upcoming bushfire season, we recommend you consult the CFA.
