Clermont Water Supply, URGENT WATER REDUCTION REQUIRED

Published on 09 August 2026

Clermont residents are being asked to immediately reduce water consumption and use water for essential purposes only following an operational failure at the Clermont Water Treatment Plant.

Council crews are actively working to rectify the issue; however, water conservation is critical to help maintain the town's water supply during this period.

ESSENTIAL WATER USE ONLY

Residents are requested to:

• Do not water lawns, gardens or plants
• Flush toilets only when necessary
• Only shower or bathe if essential
• Avoid all non-essential water use, including washing vehicles and other discretionary activities

While there is currently water available within the system, supplies may become impacted if water use remains at normal levels while treatment operations are restricted.

As a precaution, additional water is being trucked into Clermont. If required, contingency plans are in place to provide access to water collection points throughout town.

HELP SPREAD THE MESSAGE

Not everyone receives Council updates online. Please check in with neighbours, family members and friends to ensure they are aware of the situation and the need to conserve water.

Council appreciates the community's cooperation and will provide further updates as they become available.

Thank you for reducing your water use and helping protect Clermont's water supply.
