Ballina Shire Council wishes to advise Ballina residents and businesses in Moon and Tamar Streets that their water supply has now been restored. Moon Street, between Tamar and Crane Streets, has also been reopened.
Water supply was temporarily switched off to residents twice over the past 24 hours due to two water main breaks, which affected water supply.
Council crews have now rectified the issue and water services have been restored.
After a water disruption the community is reminded:
- When water returns it may be discoloured. This is due to sediment. Please run the tap until your water runs clear.
- Your water may appear milky. This is caused by small air bubbles. Don't be alarmed it is not harmful, and will settle in a short period.
- During any future water disruption it's important to leave your taps off as the water may return at any time.
Council would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding during this unplanned event.
Council proactively undertakes a program of works to upgrade and maintain civil infrastructure to ensure a reliable water service.
If you have any enquiries in regard to this matter please contact council's Water and Wastewater Section on 1300 864 444.
