Media Release - Forrest Beach Water Mains Cleaning Commencing Today

As part of Council’s ongoing commitment to maintaining Council and Community assets, Council would like to advise Forrest Beach residents that cleaning of Water Mains will be undertaken during the next two weeks between 9.00am and 5.00pm.

Works are scheduled to commence on Leichardt Street at approximately 11.00am today, Wednesday 14 August 2024. Businesses will not be affected during this time, however residents to the southern side of Leichardt Street will be affected.

During this time, the water supply to Forrest Beach properties will be turned off periodically to enable the scheduled maintenance. Each interruption is expected to last between a two to three hour period as the work crews travel around the streets. Work crews will liaise with businesses, schools and Forrest Glen before works commence.

It is suggested that, if water is likely to be required during this time, sufficient water be stored in containers prior to 9.00am.

Once the water supply has been restored, it may be discoloured for a short time. This is due to sediment. Residents are advised to allow their taps to run until the water runs clear. Milky water is caused by air bubbles. Do not be alarmed, this is not harmful and will settle after a short period of time.

Council would like to thank you for your cooperation and patience and apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
