Water restrictions at Whitemark on Flinders Island have been lifted.
Water supplies serving the community are now at a level where restrictions on the use of water are no longer necessary.
Stage 2 water restrictions were put in place for Whitemark on 22 March following ongoing dry weather which resulted in the islands water storages falling to low levels.
TasWater’s General Manager for Service Delivery Bennie Smith said that rain during autumn, along with close monitoring of water demand for the town, indicates the water supply is now adequate to meet the needs of the community.
“In addition, we have carried out an extensive assessment of the town’s reticulation network to identify and repair leaks in the system which is helping reduce water going to waste.”
Customers and residents in the town will be receiving notification of the lifting of restrictions by mail this week.
Mr Smith appreciates the cooperation of the Whitemark community and reminds customers to think about using water wisely even though water restrictions have been removed.
