Every day, Wingecarribee Shire Council delivers up to 36 million litres of fresh water through 715 kilometres of water mains to 45,000 residents, businesses, and properties across the Shire. However, maintaining this extensive network can sometimes lead to temporary disruptions, both planned and unplanned.
So that community members in smaller villages connected to town water can be assured of ready access to drinking water in the event of an outage that lasts longer than three hours, we’ve made arrangements for a back-up supply of bottled water. The recent disruption of water supply to Yerrinbool Village, due to a burst water main, highlighted the importance of putting these plans in place.
Together with our village communities, we’ve identified convenient pick-up points where you’ll be able to access free bottled water if an outage exceeds three hours in duration. This may be your local village hall, RFS or community centre. Check our location map for the collection point closest to you.
