This interruption is necessary for Council to carry out essential replacement of water mains in the area. Council will ensure that any footpaths/gardens or driveways excavated during these works are reinstated. This upgrade work may not take as long as stated but this is to allow Council contingency for inclement weather and/or unforseen circumstances. Lithgow City Council wishes to apologise for any inconvenience this interruption may cause.

At the end of each day’s work, upon the resumption of normal service, consumers may experience dirty water for a period. Council will minimise this by flushing the mains following the completion of work each day. Before using the water for domestic purposes, residents are advised to run a tap to ensure the water is clean and any dirt released into the system has been flushed.

For further information regarding this work, please phone Council on 6354 9999.

ALL PERSONS that require material to be collected are required to phone Council on 6354 9999 or complete the online registration form before 12 noon on FRIDAY 6 MARCH 2015.

Then on Sunday of the collection week, please place the material at the kerbside where you normally leave your garbage bin.

NOTE: The Contractor will only collect bulky materials, cases, boxes, carton and securely tied bundles capable of being picked up by two (2) men. The Contractor will not remove any liquid or material, which requires the use of a shovel or any toxic or chemical material.

Find a site that you think needs a clean up and ask your family & friends if they can help, you can register your site on the Clean Up Australia website so that others can come along and help.
