  South-East Queensland residents are now in the grip of the worst drought in recorded history. And are now learning how level five water restrictions will affect them and their way of life. The Queensland Water Commission has been consulting the community on draft details of level five water restrictions - to come into force on April 10 - but will release the final version tomorrow. It is understood there have only been minor changes to the draft list of restrictions released almost a month ago. The commission is expected to announce eased water use limits for nurseries, professional dog and house washers and carwashes, after concerns were raised that businesses could be put at risk. Under the draft measures, nurseries were only allowed to water outdoors for eight hours a week. The final restrictions are also expected to heed a call from motoring bodies to allow vehicle owners to use buckets of water to remove stains, but not completely wash their vehicles. Residents in 12 South-East Queensland shires will only be allowed to bucket-water their gardens twice a week under the new restrictions. The plan is to save 140 megalitres of water a day, as the south-east grapples with the worst drought on record. Town water cannot be used to fill pools, and households that use more than 800 litres a day will receive a "please explain" note and be asked to self-audit their water use. Business and industry will also be forced to make changes... Call us today on (07) 3324 2200 to arrange a no obligation consultation...

Facts & Figures

Rainfall distribution in Australia

For a tank to justify the investment it must collect a sufficient amount of water for re-use.  The table below shows the historical distribution throughout Australia’s major centres.  South East Queensland, with rainfall of approximately 50mm even in the driest months is in a ideal climate to take advantage of rainwater harvesting.
