Heading into what is expected to be one of the hottest summers on record, following the driest winter in 37 years, customers are urged to minimise their water use as Sydney faces a potential cycle of restrictions and inevitable drought.
Sydney Water Head of Water Supply and Production, Ben Blayney, said there had already been a number of warning signs and trends experienced going into the last drought.
“That’s why we’re asking Sydneysiders to work with us to save every precious drop,” Mr Blayney said.
