April 2, 2019 - Boil Water Alert Tully and Tully Rural Water Supply

Heavy rainfall in the Boulder and Bulgun Creek catchments has led to elevated turbidity in the Tully and Tully rural water supply and, as Council’s disinfection system for those schemes may not be effective, residents should boil all water for consumption.

Residents in Tully town, Feluga, East Feluga, Bulgun, Silky Oak, Euramo, Merryburn, South Mission Beach, Wongaling Beach, Carmoo, Hull Heads, Tully Heads, Jarra Creek area (Syndicate Road and Mullins Road) are advised to boil drinking water until further notice.

Residents and businesses in the affected areas are advised to boil water for use in the following activities:

• Drinking

• Brushing teeth

• Washing or preparing food that is not going to be cooked

• Preparing baby formula

• Making ice.

A program of flushing and testing has been initiated but the alert cannot be lifted without approval from Queensland Health.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council apologises for the inconvenience and will provide updates as they become available. Council asks that this advice be shared with neighbours and friends in the affected area.
