Council advises that the water supply in the area of South Littleton, parts of Bowenfels, will be affected due to repairs on the Shaft Street Reservoir from 6pm on June 9th, 2026, works are expected to be concluded within 12 hours.
The Council will be replacing Outfeed Line Valves at the Shaft Street Reservoir Tank. These valves are critical components of the reservoir’s outlet system and are being replaced to improve reliability and ensure continued service to the network.
Residents in South Littleton, Parts of Bowenfels may experience low to no water whilst repairs take place.
Upon return to normal service, residents may experience dirty water for a period. Council will endeavour to minimise this by flushing the mains.
Before using the water for domestic purposes, residents are advised to run the first tap that services their property to ensure the water is clean and any dirt released into the system has been flushed before running internal taps.
If you continue to experience issues of dirty water, please contact Council.
