ST LAWRENCE WATER DISCOLOURATION UPDATE #1
Explore Councils by state
Isaac Regional Council’s local water treatment plant operators have been working hard to resolve some discolouration occurring in the water supply.
Isaac Regional Council’s local water treatment plant operators have been working hard to resolve some discolouration occurring in the water supply and wish to inform the community that they may experience discoloured water over the coming days.
The discolouration has occurred due to higher levels of manganese and iron in the raw water received at the water treatment plant. The change in raw water was caused by historically lower water levels in the reservoir.
As part of our water continuity plan, we are looking to supplement the water in the reservoir to assist with processing the chemical imbalance in the raw water.
St Lawrence residents who are experiencing discolouration in their water are urged to call 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) so our local teams can continue to diagnose any issues in the network. Council is only able to action complaints that have been phoned through.
Our operations and networks teams have been working cautiously and effectively to rectify the discolouration and we thank residents for their patience and understanding during this time.
