Council stated that there is sufficient water to maintain a safe supply and if residents are water wise Council and WaterNSW will not need to implement emergency measures.
Should these measures need to be taken to provide a supply of water, the water provided will be untreated water and may not be fit for human consumption.
Should this occur residents will be required to boil water for an extended period.
