Northern NSW marijuana capital gets dry mouth

Mullumbimby Council have announced that if there is no rainfall in the Wilsons Creek catchment in the following week, Level 1 water constraints will be implemented in Mullumbimby.

This follows a severe decline last week in the water feeding the Laverty’s Void Dam on Wilsons Creek which provides Mullumbimby’s water.

The stream flow has dropped by 2 megalitres in one week. ‘Two weeks earlier just under four megalitres a day was being fed into the weir and this week it is hovering above one megalitre a day which is a sudden and also significant decline

Council claim that with little to no rain forecast for the coming week, Mullumbimby locals should prepare for Level 1 limitations which include: no watering of established yards using sprinklers or hoses; watering of gardens allowed between 6am– 10am and also 3pm– 7pm; all pipes have to be fitted with on/off nozzles; and also, topping up of swimming pools 6am– 10am and 3pm– 7pm.
