Current Water Supply Interruptions

Water Supply Interruptions

Planned water supply interruptions allow Council to undertake critical maintenance works to the reticulation system and also new developments. Council provides a notice via letter box drop to residents and businesses within the affected area, and details of the interruption are also posted on Council's website and Facebook.

Unplanned Interruptions

Unplanned interruptions may occur where unforeseen circumstances arise, such as a mains break, and emergency repairs are required. A notification is placed on Council's website and Facebook at the time the interruption occurs.

Preparing for an interruption

If a water supply interruption is scheduled for your area, there will be a complete loss of water supply and potentially reduced pressure for surrounding areas. Residents and businesses in the affected areas are requested to ensure they have ample water in reserve to cover their requirements during the supply interruption.

There may also be discoloration of the water supply in the 24 to 48 hours following the works. Consumers experiencing this are encouraged to run an outside tap for a few minutes until the water runs clear. Should the water continue to remain dirty after this time, please contact Council on 02 6895 1900.

Any residents that have a special water need should contact Council immediately on 02 6895 1900 for service arrangements to be made.

Council appreciates the cooperation of consumers, and any queries regarding water supply interruptions should be directed to Council's Utilities Department on 02 6895 1900.
