Sydney residents will face their first water restrictions for the first time in a decade.
Sydneysiders will have a stage 1 water restrictions, to help stem a rapid decline in the city's reservoirs amid the state's ongoing drought.
The water restrictions will target outdoor water use preventing residents from watering their lawns between 10am and 4pm.
Sprinklers and watering systems will also not be permitted, except for drip-irrigation systems or automated watering systems with controllers that automatically limit usage based on soil moisture and weather conditions.
Residents will also not be allowed to hose hard surfaces like paths and driveways, except for health and safety reasons or in an emergency.
