Water mains cleaning program - March 2023

No longer on display. Expired on 04 April 2023, 04:00 PM

To continue to improve and maintain the supply of water to your property, Murray River Council will be cleaning the water supply mains in Barham, Moulamein, Tooleybuc, Murray Downs and Mathoura over the coming weeks.

The cleaning may result in an interruption to the water supply at your property when the works are in progress.

You may also experience discoloured water following the cleaning process. This is normal and can be cleared up by running a tap until the discolouration disappears.

Residents will receive a notification letter at their household prior to the expected cleaning dates.
