Interruption to Service – Water Supply Lithgow

30 March, 2021

Council advises that there will be an interruption to water supply for customers on the high pressure line as Council are completing works from 9am Wednesday 31 March 2021.

Council is undertaking emergency repairs on the high pressure line that services the Vale of Clwydd, High Street, Pau Street, Short Street, Maple Crescent and Hutchison Street, Lithgow. Residents in these areas may experience a reduction in water pressure or no water.

Council cannot advise a time for the completion of repairs, but will aim to minimize the period of disruption.

Upon return to normal service, residents may experience dirty water for a period. Council will endeavor to minimize 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. If you continue to experience issues of dirty water, please contact Council.

Council apologises for any inconvenience this will cause and would like to assure residents that the service will be returned as soon as possible.
