RESIDENTS are being urged to reduce their water usage after the summer rainfall was 40 per cent below average.
Rain in December was the only relief in what proved to be a dry three months to the end of last month. Cranbourne was the wettest town in Casey with 123mm but 110mm of that came in December. Lysterfield had 116mm and Narre Warren North recorded the least, 64mm.
Stage 3a water restrictions – and a target of 155 litres per person per day – are in place. Under these restrictions, plants can only be watered on specified watering days as required. No evening watering is permitted.
