It is only the second time dams have fallen below 30 per cent since May 29, 1968, when Victoria was recovering from the 1967-68 drought.

MELBOURNE households have cut their water use by 4.5 billion litres under the new stage 3a water restrictions.

Melbourne's water use was 13 per cent lower last month compared with April 2006, despite this year's higher average temperature for the month. Households used 29.5 billion litres, compared with 34 billion litres in April last year.
Crikey, didn't realise you guys were down that far.
