Current Restriction
Due to the presence of PFAS in water around Katherine, the Northern Territory Government introduced compulsory water conservation measures to take the pressure off our groundwater supplies.
This means:
ODD NUMBERED properties can only water three days a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 6pm to 8am.
EVEN NUMBERED properties can only water three days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 6pm to 8am.
No watering on Fridays.
No watering of hard surfaces such as concrete or paved driveways, footpaths, street gutters and road areas.
