Water notice

Police still searching for 'cowardly' Crown Range Road robber.

Council says it is safe to consume water after flushing pipes for 1-2 mins.

Public Health South has advised this is more of an aesthetic (smell & odour) issue and of low health effects over a short period of time / after drinking some of the affected water. This is good news, however we request you continue to take a conservative approach and only drink bottled and tanker water until the issue is fully resolved. We will update you when this changes.

Do not drink your water until further notice!

Do not drink the water - even if boiled!
