Current water levels have fallen since I last reported here.
WATER STORAGE LEVELS in CANBERRA
Goulburn
Daily consumption required 5ML.
Daily average consumption for the week ending 21 January 2007 was 5.48 ML.
Current total storage is at 20.6 %
Current total usable storage is at 17.4 %
All of which makes Canberra's water storage situation seem more manageable.
Wingecarribee Shire are on level 1 water restrictions. This is my favourite restriction.

- Fixed hoses & sprinklers can be used at night after 8pm, but must be off by 8am.
Nowhere could I find a dam level for Wingecarribee.
Sydney and the Blue Mountains Water
Level three water restrictions, the same as Canberra, although in Canberra you are allowed to water with a hose and drip irrigation on the odds and evens system, so that in Canberra you can water on an even day if your street number is even, between 7am-10.00am and again in the same evening from 7pm-10.00pm. In Sydney you can water with a hose and drip irrigate on Wednesday's and Sundays before 10am and after 4pm. Sydney can also still water their lawns with a hose or dripper. In Canberra you cannot hose the lawns. On the whole I think the level 3 restrictions in Sydney are more sensible than the ones in Canberra. I know that people in Canberra are watering every two days for six hours a day, because they legally can, this should be stopped.
Dam water levels are:
Thursday 18 January 35.4 %
Hunter Water which manages the water in the Newcastle area had this to report.
I hear that Seattle is very wet and also has great bookshops with coffee, so maybe a move to Seattle is on the cards? Could always open a bookshop in Newcastle.

- Water restrictions do not apply in the Hunter at this time, and do not come into place until water storage levels reach 60%. Our water storages are 80.1% at 17 January 2007.

Please check out Seattle for me!! Some pics would be great - how far is Seattle from you?
Hi Alison,
If you moved to Newcastle perhaps you are now somewhere in the Tasman Sea.
I guess you were correct, there arn't water restriction in Newcastle.
Cheers
Ted
