The ‘Boil Water Alert’ for the village of Nimbin has been lifted, said Lismore City Council.
They said in a statement, ‘Before drinking water, residents should flush out affected water from their pipes with running water for two to three minutes, including the tap most distant from their water meter, which is usually in backyards’.
‘This only applies to customers located within the village of Nimbin. Customers who are connected to our Nimbin Rural water supply on the outskirts of the village remain under an ongoing boil water alert; this includes customers along: Tuntable Falls Rd, Kirkland Rd, Gungas Rd, Anderson Rd, Basil Rd, Evelyn Way and Weismantel Rd.
‘The village of Nimbin was placed on a boil water alert on Wednesday, 25 February due to problems with the water treatment system. The problem has been rectified, and NSW Health has given their support to Council lifting the boil water alert’, the Lismore Council said.
