UPDATE: Residents of Mount Gambier and Berrin will experience a temporary change in their water supply next week as SA Water switches to a local borefield. This critical decision aims to ensure continued access to safe and reliable drinking water, particularly during peak demand periods.
The supply change, effective from next week, is a response to current water management strategies that prioritize public health and resource sustainability. Typically, water is sourced from Blue Lake, a vital reservoir. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, authorities have determined that utilizing the local borefield is necessary for the time being.
This switch is significant as it impacts thousands of residents who rely on consistent water services. Local officials urge community members to remain informed and prepared for this transition. Residents can expect updates via local news channels and the SA Water website.
In the past, changes to water supply have raised concerns, but authorities assure that rigorous testing and monitoring will be conducted to guarantee the water quality remains high. Residents are encouraged to report any irregularities or issues with the water supply during this period.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: As the supply switch unfolds, residents should stay tuned for further announcements from SA Water regarding the progress and any additional measures that may arise. The community is asked to conserve water where possible to help manage the transition effectively.
This developing situation underscores the importance of proactive water management in ensuring public health and safety. Please share this information to keep your neighbors informed and prepared for the upcoming changes.
