Port Macquarie-Hastings Council has announced Level 2 water restrictions will come in to effect this Monday.
The town’s combined water storage levels have fallen below 60% due to reduced river flows and lower than average rainfall.
Restrictions mean hand-held hoses can only be used for up to 30 minutes a day during off-peak times.
Sprinklers and unattended hoses are also banned.
Level 1 water restrictions have been enforced across all mid-north coast Councils since the beginning of winter.
Kempsey could be just weeks away from Level 3 restrictions, which would affect large businesses.
