Water Corporation are currently completing emergency works on a burst water main affecting Dongara and Port Denison.
They apologise to our community for the inconvenience caused and want to reassure that their crews are working as quickly as possible to complete the repairs.
While a temporary repair is in place, crews have not been able to recharge the main to full pressure. To help maintain supply, please limit non-essential water use. This includes:
- Avoiding washing vehicles, boats, or pets.
- Not leaving hoses running or hosing down pavements.
- Avoiding topping up pools and spas.
- Keeping showers to 4 minutes and skipping baths, or limiting them to a small volume if essential.
- Restricting use of water-using appliances, including washing machines.
- Using a plug in the sink to capture rinse water for reuse.
You may notice temporary water discolouration caused by natural sediment being stirred up in the pipes. Please be assured your water is still safe to use, and discolouration will clear with normal use.
Further repairs are required to secure a permanent fix. A planned outage will occur in the coming days, with details to be shared as it becomes available.
If you have urgent water needs, please contact the Water Corporation’s Faults, emergencies and security line on 13 13 75 (24 hours).
