POSSIBLE water discolouration is being flagged for Weston, Waramanga, Holder, Wright, Coombs and Stirling when Icon Water begins a planned clean of Chifley reservoir from Tuesday until Thursday.
The instrumentality says Duffy Reservoir will be used as an alternate water supply but because of a change in the direction of the water flow for that period, some discolouration could occur due to naturally occurring sediment being stirred up within the network.
Icon Water says it will endeavour to minimise any impact to the community throughout this essential work, and that anyone experiencing discoloured water is advised not to use washing machines and dishwashers as it may stain clothing or clog filters.
“Whilst it is difficult to predict to what degree the water will be affected, Icon Water advises that any discolouration should clear with normal use,” the company says.
“If you are experiencing any issues as a result of discolouration after Thursday, please call 6248 3111 and select option 1.”
