The city council has moved to level two water restrictions, because demand has increased sharply over the past few days.
Hoses and sprinklers can only be used between 6am and 8am, and 7pm and 9pm, it said.
And even that use will be restricted to even numbered houses on even-number dates, and to odd numbered houses on odd-numbered date.
