Just wanted to share a few excerpts from our local water authorities news letter:
In 2006, the regions major catchment resevoir, the West Barwon Reservoir, received it's lowest rainfall on record. Rainfall to mid-December was a disappointing 606 millimeters compared to the average if 1148 millimeters.
At the end of 2006, towns in the greater Geelong water supply region were on Stage 4 water restrictions, the most stringent since the 1967 drought.
An interesting aside is that sewerage voluems have decreased by as much as 15 per cent...This is probably the result of people using greywater from their showers and launderies.
