We would like to thank everyone for their co-operation in helping to conserve the water supply throughout August.
In late July things looked very different to how they look now. We were enjoying a wonderful summer in terms of sunshine and we had no idea how long the dry spell was going to last.
By imposing restrictions on the water supply we prepared for the worst case scenario. This action was necessary to ensure there would be enough water for everyone when the islands were at their busiest.
Thanks to your support this was the case.
We can now confirm that all restrictions are now lifted.
Once again, thank you for your co-operation and understanding and we hope everyone continues to use water wisely.
