BOIL WATER ALERT LIFTED - Village of Glenreagh

Published on 21 December 2023

After consulting NSW Health, Clarence Valley Council advises all residents in Glenreagh that tap water is now safe to drink.

This applies immediately.

Testing confirms the water supply system has been filled with freshly treated water that is safe.
 
There is no longer a public health concern over the quality of drinking water, and it is now considered safe for all typical uses including drinking, preparing food and beverages, personal washing, dishwashing, laundry purposes and flushing toilets.

 Clarence Valley Council has worked closely with NSW Health to resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

 To protect the health of the community, our crews have flushed the watermains in the area to reintroduce safe, clean water to the local water supply system.

 Before drinking water, residents should flush out affected water from their pipes with running water for 2 to 3 minutes, including the tap most distant from their water meter, which is usually in backyards.

Residents are asked to share this notice with neighbours and friends.

 Council would like to thank residents for their patience and understanding while we worked to resolve this issue.
