Gosford City Council apologises to residents in the region who may have experienced discoloured water over the weekend.

The incident was the result of works undertaken in preparation for cleaning of the major supply mains which transport water from the water treatment plant into Gosford and the Peninsula.  These works are required to ensure a long-term solution to the discoloured water problems. 

Council staff are making every effort to clear the problem and anticipate supply will return to normal within the next day or so.

Residents are advised to check the water quality prior to use.  Should washing be affected, residents are advised to keep the clothing wet and contact Gosford City Council on 4325 8222 to obtain a cleaning solution.
