Breaking restrictions and fines

If you believe you have witnessed a breach of water restrictions, you may contact the Water Conservation Office on 6248 3131. You will need to supply the address where the contravention has occurred, what the breach was and at what time the breach occurred. Alternatively, submit an online report.

Water Conservation Officers are active in the community to educate and inform about water conservation. Permanent Water Conservation Measures, and when in force Temporary Water Restrictions, are mandatory and any person or business witnessed by an authorised person to be acting in contravention of these may be liable for fines starting at $200 (individual) or $1,000 (corporation).
