Public notice: Boil water in Bauhinia

Posted on April 16, 2024

There has been a chlorination failure. As a precautionary measure, residents are asked to boil water. Bring water to a rolling boil and allow it to cool. Store water in a clean container with a lid and refrigerate. Cooled boiled water should be used for:

drinking, cooking, washing raw foods (such as seafood or salads), making ice, pet’s drinking water and cleaning teeth dishes should be washed in hot soapy water and children should take bottled or cooled boiled water to school.

Council is working to alleviate the problem.

Precautions should be taken until further notice.

Please share this information with other people who drink this water, especially anyone who may not get this notice directly. For further information, contact Central Highlands Regional Council on 1300 242 686
