Interruption to Service – Water Supply Portland

6 October, 2021

Council advises that the water supply in the area of Pipers Flat Road, Falnash Street areas and Ridge Street areas may be affected due to a water mains repair on the supply lines.

WaterNSW and Council are undertaking emergency repairs on the Trunk network that services Pipers Flat Road, Falnash Street and Ridge Street areas of Portland. Residents in these area of Portland may experience a reduction in water pressure or no water.

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

Upon return to 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. If you continue to experience issues of dirty water, please contact Council.

Council wishes to apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and would like to assure residents that the service will be returned as soon as possible.
