Water Restrictions

1. Overview

No water restrictions are currently in place and apply to all residents in the Lithgow Local Government Area.

2. Penalties

Use of water contrary to this notice may result in:

• Court action where a maximum penalty of up to $550,000 in the case of a corporation or $5,500 in the case of an individual may be sought;
• Authorised officers may issue an on-the-spot penalty notice for $220 to either a corporation or an individual and/or;
• A restriction on service or disconnection of water supply. (Note that in the case of restoration of supply, a reconnection fee will apply)

3. Privately Owned Water Supplies

If your property is supplied with water from a tank, bore, well, greywater or creek (under licence or otherwise) it is mandatory for you to display a sign clearly visible from the street adjoining the property being watered whilst restrictions are in place. The notice should be large enough to be visible from the street and should state: Well Water/Bore Water/Creek Water/Greywater/Recycled Water* Used On Property (* whichever applies).
