Residents affected by boiled water alerts in Bilambil Heights, Terranora and some parts of Banora Point are able to collect free drinking water from a temporary water refill station.
Council is aware that some properties under boiled water alerts have run out of water and is supplying free drinking water for residents affected by boil water alerts.
What: Free drinking water
Where: Available for collection out the front of Bilambil Community Hall on the corner of Bilambil Road and Urliup Road
When: Available 8am – 4pm Sunday 9 March.
What to bring: Clean containers, vessels or drink bottles equivalent to no more than 60L per property.
Council will endeavour to continue supplying potable drinking water at this location until we lift boiled water notices or power supply is restored. This is subject to road access remaining open for our crews to access the location from Murwillumbah.
We appreciate that for some residents it is now several days without power and now water, a reminder that Evacuation Centres remain open 24/7 for those that need this option or support.
