Together, we have pushed back Day Zero again
13 February 2018
We all join in celebrating the news that Day Zero has been pushed back to 4 June 2018, as a result of the lowest daily consumption average yet of 529 million litres a day for the past week.
Over this past weekend, residents consumed just 499 million litres a day, the first time we have achieved the daily target of less than 500 ML.
I thank residents for their commitment shown. If we keep consumption this low for the weeks and months to come, we will defeat Day Zero in 2018.
We all must continue using less than 50l per day, so that we can move Day Zero even further back and defeat it altogether.
