Rous County Council sets the water restrictions for the Lismore water supply while Lismore City Council is in charge of setting water restrictions for the Nimbin Water Supply as this does not come from the Rous catchment area.   

Use our Water Restriction Exemption Application form to request an exemption to water restrictions, or to request approval for activities that require Council approval during water restrictions.
