Update: 12pm, 5 Feb

The water pipe has been fixed. Residents should notice their water begin to clear up.

In the meantime the tanker remains in place at the Inglewood Railway Yards.

Inglewood’s water is treated before it leaves the plant. But as a precaution we suggest you don't drink discoloured water until it is clear.

We apologise for any inconvenience this is causing people, after contractors working on the town’s $7 million pipe upgrade project accidentally broke a pipe, stirring up sediment.

Update: 9am, 5 Feb

Work to repair a broken water pipe in Inglewood, which is causing some residents in the town to experience discoloured water, is progressing well.

Teams in the field are finalising repairs as they recommission the pipe and carrying out final tests before giving the all clear.

Once the fix is complete, residents should notice their water begin to clear up.

In the meantime, a tanker is on site at the railway yards for residents to use – please bring your own container for filling.

We are sending a water tanker to Inglewood with some residents in the town expected to experience discoloured drinking water.

We apologise for any inconvenience this is causing people, after contractors working on the town’s $7 million pipe upgrade project accidentally broke a pipe, stirring up sediment.

The tanker will be located at the railway yards from about 5pm – people are asked to bring their own containers for filling.

We’re working hard to get this issue resolved as soon as possible.
