Alert – Interruption to Service

Lithgow City Council wishes to advise that the water supply in the area of Main Street and Mort Street, Lithgow may be affected due to a water main break.

Council has experienced a water main break in an area of its reticulation that services the areas of Main Street and Mort Street, from Bridge Street to Lithgow Street. Lithgow Council has advised that surrounding areas may also experience reduced water pressure and/or no water at all.

Council at this time cannot determine the extent of the break and therefore cannot advise of the time that it may take to complete repairs to resume normal service. Council will endeavour to provide regular updates as further information becomes available.

Upon return of normal service, residents may experience dirty water for a period. Council will endeavour to minimise this by flushing the mains. Before using the water for domestic purposes, residents are advised to run a tap to ensure the water is clean and any dirt released into the system has been flushed.

Council wishes to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and would like to ensure residents that the service will be returned as soon as possible.
