Current Dam levels

• South East Queensland dams including Hinze dam and combined Wivenhoe, North Pine and Somerset
• SunWater's regional dam levels
• Rainfall in the catchments

Target 200

Now that combined dam levels for SEQ have exceeded 50%, the region has moved from High Level Restrictions and Target 170 to Medium Level Restrictions and Target 200.   This applies to Brisbane City, Ipswich City, Lockyer Valley Regional Council, Logan City, Moreton Bay Regional Council and Somerset Regional Council.

Residential consumption

Residential daily consumption figures are calculated on a weekly basis using local council water usage data:

• each SEQ council provides bulk water supply data to the Commission
• data is collated to derive an average daily regional figure (including residential and non-residential use)
• the non-residential sector's consumption is then deducted
• an average daily per person water consumption is then derived using population figures.
