Permanent Water Saving Rules are always in place to help us use water efficiently. Water corporations sometimes use water restrictions to help manage urban water use.
A Water Use Plan controls the use of water for specific purposes or for a specific stage of restrictions. It helps you maximise your water-savings during restrictions. In special circumstances, you can request an exemption from some permanent water saving rules or a stage of water restrictions.
If these circumstances apply to you, you can apply for an exemption.
Use this form to apply for:
- an exemption to permanent water-saving rules or a stage of water restrictions.
- a Water Use Plan.
A Water Use Plan will only be approved if:
- the water use described in the plan is permitted under the relevant stage of restrictions.
- the Water Use Plan is part of a water restriction exemption application.
