🚨 Conserve Water - Hervey Bay 🚨
The Urraween drinking water pump station was damaged during Sunday’s wet weather.
We’re asking residents in the Hervey Bay drinking water service area to conserve water for essential use and clean-up until repairs are completed.
💧 Drinking water remains safe to drink.
✅ Water treatment plants have not been impacted, and Council continues to actively monitor and manage water quality across the network.
Council crews are on-site assessing the damage and coordinating repairs at the pump station, but at this stage, we don’t yet know how long it will take to fix.
Customers may also experience reduced water pressure compared to normal service levels.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation while we work on the repairs. 🙏
