VIC:Water restrictions eased in Melbourne

Melbourne returns to stage one water restrictions from today, which means people can
water lawns with trigger hoses.

Residential and commercial gardens can be watered with manual watering systems between
6am and 8am and between 8pm and 10pm on specified watering days, while automatic watering
systems can be used between midnight and 4am.

Hand-held hoses with a trigger nozzle, buckets or watering cans may be used to water
gardens and lawns at any time, but hosing down concrete and hard surfaces is still banned.
