The town water flush started last night had to be stopped before it could be completed because there was an issue with not being able to maintain enough pressure to supply water to all houses.

This is disappoiting as we will need to resolve the issue and try again – this is being planned for Sunday night. A further update to confirm timings will be available at 4pm.

If you are one of the houses who lost water last night we apologise for the inconvenience caused. The water should be back on for everyone now.

No need to run taps in the morning, unless the water appears dirty and needs to clear.

Please remember the boil water notice still stands.
