Considering your "rainy days" compared to ours.
I think we win on the" how we need to save water" situation.
EDIT: Anywhere in the UK in drought?

Well, just starting into winter here
So AFAIK we're good for the moment; but I'll hunt you out a link with some stats ASAP*.

Checking the site you linked, it certainly looks like you've had a long run of drier than typical weather. Is that why the dam system hasn't actually been close to fully filled since before 2004; or it typical utility gambling, risking meeting your needs for their profit?**

You having designated "watering days" are a new concept to me. Is that a temporary, seasonal, or permanent measure?

* (Edit: www.unitedutilities.com/Keepingthewaterflowing.aspx shows regional storage generally above average, but of course these are not directly comparable. )

** I know they can't be all full all the time, they have to be run down for servicing and so on; but a peak of 54% system capacity seems disturbingly low, given the bottom 17.5% isn't really available. (Edit x2: just checked www.watercorporation.com.au/D/dams_streamflow.cfm - wow, you've been getting drier for decades; now that's disturbing.)

Always, except winter (during the rain) when we have a complete sprinkler ban.
