Council released a statement on Monday saying restrictions are necessary to manage continuity of water supply due to low rainfall in the catchment area and a dry outlook with the majority of the state in drought.
"These restrictions are aimed at maintaining water supply coming into summer faced with an extremely dry outlook," Hilltops Mayor Brian Ingram said.
Residents are still able to water their lawns and gardens between 6am-9am or 6pm-9pm.
Further information, as well as tips for saving water are available on council's website
