Low rainfall and high water usage is beginning to put pressure on the region’s dams.
In April this year both Dungowan and Chaffey dams were sitting about 98 per-cent capacity.
While Chaffey’s level has remained healthy – Dungowan Dam has dropped to 62 per-cent.
Since this time last year residents in the Tamworth region have almost doubled their water consumption – the region swallowing up to 29-megalitres a day on average.
