Residents are informed of water restrictions due to emergency repairs to be undertaken on the pumping main of the Northdene 3 Water Pumpstation.

 

The repairs will start on 23 May. During this process, reservoir outlets will be shut during the night and reopened in the morning to prevent reservoirs from running dry. If this is not done, it will prolong the recovery period when the repairs are completed on 24 May.
