St Lawrence residents are advised that a full outdoor water use ban is now in place until further notice.
Council has identified that water use within the township is currently exceeding the rate at which water can be produced due to a leak somewhere within the water supply system or high water usage. Council is trucking additional water into the community to meet demand, but it is essential that residents help conserve water to maintain supply levels while investigations continue.
OUTDOOR WATER USE BAN
Residents are requested to:
Council is actively investigating the source of the leak and asks the community to assist by reporting any suspected water leaks or unusual water flows.
WATER DISCOLOURATION
Residents may notice temporary discolouration in their water supply. While the water may appear discoloured, it remains safe to drink and use for normal household purposes.
Council appreciates the community's cooperation and understanding while these measures are in place.
Conserving water now will help maintain essential water supplies for all residents while the issue is resolved.
If you notice a water leak, please contact Council immediately on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).
