Water Restrictions
The Richmond Valley Council Local Government Area (LGA) is supplied by two seperate mains water supply sources.
Casino is supplied from the Richmond River with water being drawn from the weir pool upstream from Jabour Weir and treated at the Casino Water Treatment Plant.
The Lower River towns including Coraki, Evans Head, Broadwater, Riley's Hill and Woodburn are supplied by the regions bulk water supplier, Rous Water. This water is predominantly supplied from Rocky Creek Dam, however, during dry periods the Woodburn bore may be put into operation to augment the existing supply to all Lower River towns except Coraki.
As the security of supply from each of these sources may differ at any time, water restrictions for Casino and the Lower River towns may also differ. Residents should therefore check the current level of restrictions for the town in which they reside.
Richmond Valley Council is responsible for enforcing the water restrictions for all Richmond Valley Council retail water customers.
If you have any queries regarding the level of water restrictions currently in place in Casino please contact Council's General Enquiries number Ph (02) 6660 0300.
