Urgent conserve water alert for Mirboo North

Gippsland Water is asking customers in Mirboo North to conserve water until further notice.

Crews have been responding overnight to damage across the network caused by yesterday’s wild weather, compounded by power outages, fallen trees and communications outages.

Treated water storages were depleted overnight and will need time to recover.

Customers can be reassured their water is still safe to drink. Free bottled water will be available at the carpark on the corner of Bath’s Rd and Strzelecki Highway, Mirboo North from 6:30am on Wednesday 14 February. Entry is via Bath’s Rd only.
