Not enough water for pulp mill
Hydro Tasmania says it cannot guarantee water supplies to the $2 billion Gunns Limited pulp mill.
The news comes as water flows in the South Esk basin plummet because of drought.
As well, Hydro Tasmania has reduced generation and thus water releases from Great Lake.
The level of the lake has dropped to 15.9 per cent of capacity ahead of a weekend of high evaporation because of hot weather.
