Central Coast Council will be carrying out essential water network upgrades in the Avoca Lagoon area on Thursday 29 August 2024. The planned water outage will commence at approximately 5:00 AM, with water service expected to be restored by early evening if the works proceed as scheduled.

Residents are advised to collect enough water to meet their consumption and hygiene needs before the interruption begins. Water can be stored in jugs, buckets, and bathtubs. Toilets can be flushed by tipping water from a bucket into the bowl during this time.

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TAPS ARE CLOSED DURING THE PERIOD OF INTERRUPTION.

After restoration of supply, residents are advised to run the front tap (generally located near the water meter serving your property) until water becomes clear.  Internal taps should then be checked for water quality prior to use.  These steps are particularly important to carry out before using any hot water services, washing machines, dishwashers or other water using devices.

These upgrades are part of the ongoing installation of a new trunk main that travels under Avoca Lagoon. This is the first of two planned water outages, with the second scheduled for later this year.

This work is crucial to improving the water infrastructure in the area, ensuring that the local water service is reliable and capable of meeting future demands.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the water infrastructure in your local area.

An alternative water supply will be provided for residents and will be available at Kiana Street North Avoca. Please bring your own bottles and buckets.
