Boil Water Reminder – Dovedale Rural Water Scheme

Friday 7 October 2011

As a result of recent heavy rain events and a temporary fault with the chlorine injection pump at the treatment plant, the quality of the water from the Dovedale Water Scheme has been compromised. It is therefore recommended that as a precaution, households boil their drinking water. 

Users of the Dovedale scheme are reminded that a permanent “Boil Water” notice is in place.

You are advised to boil all your drinking water for at least one minute for the following:

• Drinking water
• Food preparation
• Utensil washing
• Cleaning your teeth
• Pets
• Ice

Thank you for your co-operation.
