Water restrictions in Bathurst should stay as a matter of discipline.
This year has been wet enough to need very little water for our gardens, and as summer arrives, everyone should be able to keep their gardens flourishing within the restriction guidelines.
The river does not belong to Bathurst. There are many towns and irrigators downstream that benefit when our dam overflows and, perhaps more importantly, the health of the Macquarie Marshes which have suffered tremendously from drought and human mismanagement of the river.
Please respect our river and don't ask any more from it than we need.
