Please note that due to increased water usage across the Greenmount Service District(former Cambooya Shire), Council has now outlawed the use of town water supplies on gardens other than by buckets and watering cans in the area. All residents are requested to conserve water as Council’s bore levels are continuing to fall. Private bore water users are also requested to reduce usage where possible as aquifer levels throughout the shire are steadily falling.

Due to recent rains which helped raise water levels at the Ted Pukallus Weir, Council is happy to advise residents connected to the Yarraman Water Supply Scheme that previous Level 5 water restrictions will be eased to Level 2 from midnight on Tuesday 26 February 2008.

Under the new restrictions hand-held hosing will be permitted at any time but the use of sprinklers remains prohibited.

Rain received in the Cecil Plains area in recent months has resulted in substantially increased water levels in the Cecil Plains Weir. This provides welcome relief to the residents of Cecil Plains who have endured quite severe water restrictions consequent to the falling water levels.
