Council will be flushing water mains across Cooma for four weeks starting Tuesday 7 April 2026, as part of the regular water infrastructure maintenance schedule.
Flushing water mains helps to maintain high standards of drinking water quality for local residents and helps Council prevent the need for more costly maintenance and repairs across the supply network.
Essential information
Where: Cooma — Water mains throughout the town
Starts: Tuesday 7 April 2026
Duration: Four weeks
Reason: Water main maintenance flushing
There will be no interruption to any property's water supply while this maintenance work is underway.
Slightly discoloured or sediment-carrying water will be present at times throughout the water supply network while flushing is being performed. Any affected residents and businesses are advised to run a tap for a few minutes until the water runs clear.
While it is likely that you won't even notice that this work is occurring, we're giving you notice in case you see water running down the road, or encounter some temporary discolouration of your tap water.
