Council advises water quality may have been affected at Correa Bay, Woy Woy, following the severe thunderstorm on Wednesday 22 March.

A combination of large stormwater flows and a power outage at a sewage pump station has led to some effluent being discharged into Correa Bay.

Council has, as a precaution, closed Correa Bay boat ramp and the adjoining foreshore area. Residents are, as a precaution, advised to avoid swimming, fishing and other recreational activities in the area until further notice.

Council continues to monitor the situation closely and is working with the NSW Environment Protection Authority and other relevant authorities.
