Power and Water Corporation has advised NT Health that Cyclone Narelle has the potential to damage the water supply system in Umbakumba, Angurugu, Milyakburra, and Numbulwar.
Power and Water Corporation will check the water supply system and undertake repairs, if necessary, when the weather allows.
Due to possible impacts of Cyclone Narelle, as a precautionary measure, the Department of Health recommends that you use cooled boiled water or bottled water for drinking, preparing food and baby formula, and for brushing teeth.
Public health safety remains the priority, and the alert will only be lifted when the Chief Health Officer is confident the water supply is safe to drink.
