Sydney told to expect water restrictions ’soon‘ as dam levels dive – Sydney The Berejiklian government will review planned water restrictions for Sydney with the possibility that curbs on use will be tougher than presently detailed in the city’s Metropolitan Water Plan. Cabinet is expected to review the water plans next Monday to determine its response to plunging reservoir levels as the dry spell intensifies. Most of NSW has had very much below average rainfall for the past two years, and Sydney’s April-May period is on track to be its second driest in 160 years, the Bureau of Meteorology said. (LINK).
