Water Restriction Confusion Cleared Up for Singleton Residents

BY ISABEL EVERETT

Singleton residents have raised concern with Council about which water restrictions apply to them, with both Singleton Council and Hunter Water as registered water providers for different parts of the area.

Hunter Water provides water services to Branxton with residents on level two restrictions. 

Singleton Council provides water services to Singleton, Jerrys Plains, Mount Thorley and Broke,

with customers currently subjected to level one water restrictions. 

However, a report has been prepared for Council for their February meeting, where they will consider moving to level two.

Hunter Water has three levels of water restrictions, while Singleton has six levels of water restrictions, ranging from one being low to six being critical.
