Cairns Regional Council advises that the boil water notice issued 2 March for consumers in the Bartle Frere has been extended.
Residents should continue to boil drinking water until further notice.
Customers should bring water to a boil by heating the water until a continuous and rapid stream of air-bubbles is produced from the bottom of a pan or kettle. Kettles with automatic cut-off switches are suitable. Variable temperature kettles should be set to boil.
After heating, water must be allowed to cool before using it, and be stored in a clean, closed container for later use. Care should be taken to avoid scalding injuries.
