Yep things are looking grim for folk in town.
Tamworth primarily uses dungowan dam for drinking water. I have no clue how full it is. Silly thing is. A release is due to happen soon and will end up looking like Keepit dam nearby. I I live out of town and have my own water supply, it’s rough going on level 5 restrictions in town.
Totally agree with lazjen post.
A pipe from a desalination plant on the coast barely 200km away to the headwaters on the range. Seems good in theory anyway.

Glen. Chaffey has its capacity doubled a while ago. And not long after it filled up.
The “environmental releases” are what has diminished Chaffey, keepit, and splitrock.
Dungowan dam has the go ahead to increase capacity but that should have been done years ago. Need the infrastructure in and more importantly the rain to fill it up.
Nothing left out here.
