Central Coast Council is advising residents that Wamberal Lagoon will remain closed following a sewer main break earlier this week.

The break has caused some sewage flow into the Forresters Creek inlet into Wamberal Lagoon, adjacent to Malkana Avenue, Forresters Beach.

Following reports of the break, Council immediately attended the site and stopped the flow of sewer from the broken pipe, containing the outflow to the immediate area of Forresters Creek inlet and Wamberal Lagoon.

Council is now in the process of constantly monitoring the water quality at the site whilst the clean-up process continues.  

Residents in the immediate area have received notification of the clean-up works via a letterbox drop and are encouraged to follow Council’s social media channels for regular updates as the clean-up continues.

Council continually monitors the region’s water and sewerage system and implements an ongoing renewal program for water and sewerage mains.

Over the next four years Council will invest $11million to upgrade and improve the performance of the Central Coast’s sewerage infrastructure.

Central Coast residents who experience water or sewerage concerns in their area should call Council immediately on 1300 463 954.

Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and will open Wamberal Lagoon as soon as possible.
