Monday, December 21st, 2020

Rainfall recorded at South Gippsland Water’s storages during the week of 12 December to 18 December was Lance Creek 2mm, Ruby Creek 0mm, Deep Creek 7mm and Battery Creek 8mm.

So far for December, monthly rainfalls have been Lance Creek 43mm, Ruby Creek 41mm, Deep Creek 41mm and Battery Creek 45mm.

South Gippsland Water’s Managing Director, Philippe du Plessis said the region’s reservoirs and creeks were looking good heading into Christmas and the holiday period.

“Lance Creek Reservoir, which services Korumburra, Poowong, Loch, Nyora, Wonthaggi, Inverloch and Cape Paterson, is at 94 per cent and Ruby Creek, which services Leongatha is at 90 per cent. Our other two reserves remain at 100 per cent capacity,” he said.

“While we’re still looking good this summer, we do have an influx of visitors and holiday homeowners this time of year, which means an increased demand for water.

“We’d like to remind everyone that under Victorian Permanent Water Savings Rules, we need to water our gardens between 6pm and 10am, sweep and not hose down pathways and driveways, and install trigger nozzles on all outside hoses.”
