Stage 3a water restrictions obviously affect pool and spa owners, too. 

If you have a new pool or spa, you can’t use tap water to fill it. Of course, you can use tank water or even ground water if available.

If your existing pool or spa takes 2,000 litres or less of water, you can use a bucket or watering can to fill it, but never with a hose connected to tap water.A larger existing pool or spa can only be filled with tap water if you have a water conversation plan from your local water company.You can top up your existing pool or spa with a bucket or watering can, but never with a hose connected to tap water.Under stage 4, topping up existing pools/spas by bucket will be allowed but no filling of pools/spas will be allowed without specific permission from your local water authority.
