Whilst there is no immediate risk of loss of water supply to customers as reservoir levels currently remain full, Goldenfields Water advised that they are preparing for an extended period of power outage that may lead to reduced levels of service to Hilltops customers.

These restrictions apply to the townships and surrounding areas of:
- Jugiong

- Harden
- Wallendbeen
The towns listed above and their surrounding areas are under level 3 water restrictions until further notice.
