The Council says it is making every effort to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

It has apologised for the inconvenience and will continue to provide updates via Council’s website.

It has provided the following tips to assist locals during the outage:

  • During any water disruption it’s important to leave your taps off as the water may return at any time.
  • When water returns it may be discoloured. This is due to sediment. Please run the tap until your water runs clear.
  • Your water may appear milky. This is caused by small air bubbles. Don’t be alarmed it is not harmful, and will settle in a short period.

Those with enquiries are asked to contact council’s Water and Wastewater Section on 1300 864 444.
