Due to pressure on the local water supply, Cook Shire Council has introduced Alert Level Water Restrictions in Coen, effective immediately. Please reduce non-essential water use.
What you can and can’t do
- No watering on Wednesdays.
- Sprinklers, micro-sprays and drip systems are not permitted.
- Hand-held hoses with a trigger nozzle may be used at any time.
- Ponds and fountains can’t be filled unless using a non-potable supply.
- Pools: existing pools may be topped up; new pool filling is allowed but discouraged.
- Hard surfaces may be cleaned only with pressure cleaners and for health or safety reasons.
- Vehicle washing is allowed anytime with a bucket or a hose fitted with a trigger nozzle.
