Council wishes to advise that the water supply in the area of Commonwealth Avenue, Portland may be affected due to a water mains break.

Council is undertaking emergency repairs on the reticulation network that services Commonwealth Avenue, Portland. It is advised that residents in this area may experience a reduction in water pressure or no water.

Council cannot advise at what time the repairs will be complete, but will aim to minimize the period of disruption.

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 the first tap that services their property to ensure the water is clean and any dirt released into the system has been flushed before running internal taps.

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.
