The SWS are divided into three categories:

  • Public Water - water supplies managed by the RFS
  • Private - Category 1 - privately owned water supplies of large quantity and good access that the RFS has been granted access to. 
  • Private - Category 2 - privately owned water supplies of adequate quantity and reasonable access that the RFS has been granted access to.

Quantitative and qualitative data of the SWS can be found by clicking either on the red triangle marking each individual SWS, or the relevant SWS name in the listing in the bottom right corner. 

The water categories can be toggled on or off by clicking on the check box, or the folder can be collapsed by clicking on the arrow, in the listing.

Driving directions can then be produced by entering Mt Wilson Fire Station as the starting point and then clicking Go
