URGENT UPDATE: Residents of Mount Gambier and Berrin will experience a temporary switch in their water supply to a local borefield starting next week. This change, confirmed by SA Water, is set to impact local households as they transition from their usual supply sourced from the Blue Lake/WarWar area.
The shift is a proactive measure aimed at ensuring the reliability of the water supply amid ongoing maintenance and operational assessments. Officials from SA Water have stated that this adjustment is necessary to maintain water quality and system integrity during the maintenance period.
Residents are urged to prepare for this transition, which is expected to last for an unspecified duration. Local officials assure that the switch will not affect the safety of the drinking water but may result in differences in taste and mineral content.
Why This Matters: This change in water supply comes at a critical time, as community members rely on a stable and safe water source for daily activities. With summer approaching, ensuring adequate water supply is vital for both hydration and sanitation needs.
Local authorities are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as they become available. Residents are encouraged to stay informed through SA Water’s official channels for the latest details regarding the supply switch and any potential impacts on their daily lives.
Next Steps: Watch for further announcements from SA Water regarding the timeline for the switch back to the Blue Lake supply. Community members are advised to reach out with any questions or concerns regarding their water service during this period.
