Water Service Interruptions

We do planned maintenance and this will interrupt water services form time to time. We will give you as much notice as we can. Unfortunately, unplanned interruptions and outages can also occur.

Council’s Water Services Team will work as quickly as possible to restore your water service. During these events Council will notify residents via local media during business hours, social media and on this web page.

In the event of an unplanned water outage in the villages supplied with Town Water, Council will provide up to 3 litres per household of bottled water if a water outage lasts longer than 3 hours.

Where can I access bottled water in my village?

If you are in a village area that is connected to town water and are experiencing a water outage of longer than 3 hours, you can find your pick-up station from the below map. The distribution point will be outside the venue.

This service is not available to the main town centres and does not include villages not connected to town water.

Tips to prepare for planned works

  1. Store enough drinking water for the duration. 

  2. Fill buckets for flushing of toilets. 

  3. Turn-off hot water systems to avoid possible damage. 

  4. Once water supply is restored, run your hot water tap to flush any air pockets from the pipes before turning your hot water system back on.   

  5. Check that tap water runs clear before drinking. 

  6. Know where your local pick-up point for bottled water is by checking our map, just in case!
