Water supply will be temporarily unavailable to properties on Main Street and Green Street, Alstonville from 12.30pm to approximately 5pm today due to a water main break.
Traffic control is in place to direct motorists around the impacted roadway.
Ballina Shire Council asks that residents please refrain from using water at this time. Council’s Water and Wastewater team will make every effort to resolve this matter as quickly as possible.
Council apologises for the inconvenience and will continue to provide updates via local media and Council’s website once more information is available.
Here’s some things to remember that will assist you during this outage:
• During any water disruption it’s important to leave your taps off as the water may return at any time.
• 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.
If you have any enquiries in regard to this matter please contact council’s Water and Wastewater Section on 1300 864 444.
