After just over a month, Lismore City Council say the boil water alert for the village of Nimbin has been lifted, effective immediately.
Yet these living in the outskirts of the village, a boil water alert is still in place.
Council say, ‘Before drinking water, residents should flush out affected water from their pipes with running water for 2 to 3 minutes, including the tap most distant from their water meter, which is usually in backyards’.
