On Tuesday, 17 March 2020, ID Loader will be connecting the new section of raw water falling pipeline to the existing pipeline, this will require a localised water shutdown.

The temporary shutdown is expected to occur before 8am and will take at least 1 day but may take up to 2 days if there are issues encountered.

Regular town water supply is not likely to be affected as the existing reservoir will be filled and is expected to have a 24-hours supply.
