Water Supply Issues – UPDATE

Lithgow City Council wishes to advise that repairs have been undertaken to restore water supply to Lithgow residents.

Repairs have now been completed on the break experienced to the main supply to the reservoirs which occurred approximately 6am on the 19th January 2020. Council staff have worked around the clock and in difficult conditions. It is expected to take some time before full pressure returns. 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 and the time that it has taken to conduct repairs and appreciates the community’s patience while rectifying this issue.
