Water restrictions will be enforced in Sydney this Saturday for the first time in a decade.<\/p>\n

According to the ABC,<\/a> the State Government will make the official announcement later today. <\/p>\n

At this stage, it is unclear exactly what water use will be restricted. <\/p>\n

But, if past trends are anything to go by, we may be prohibited from using hoses (to clean driveways or cars) and sprinkler systems. <\/p>\n

\n\n \"car\n

Dam levels are currently at 53.6% which is technically still high enough to avoid water restrictions (once levels are below 50% restrictions are necessary). However, as NSW is in ongoing drought, the decision to enforce water restrictions is an important one. <\/p>\n

A dirty car is a small price to pay if we\u2019re helping our environment and our farming industry. <\/p>\n

The last water restrictions were lifted in Sydney in June 2009.<\/p>\n
