Water Supply Interruption – Harrietville

3 July 20226 | 5:50pm

North East Water is responding to a major water leak on the pipeline between the Harrietville Water Treatment Plant and the town’s water storage tank.

As a result, water levels in the storage tank have been significantly reduced, and some customers may be experiencing low water pressure or have no water supply.

Our crews are currently working to locate the leak and restore the water supply as quickly as possible. Water carting has been arranged to refill the town’s storage tank and help maintain supply while repairs are underway.

We are asking all Harrietville customers to use water sparingly until the leak has been located and repaired. Reducing non-essential water use will help conserve remaining supplies and support efforts to restore services across the town.

We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the community’s patience while we work to resolve the issue.

Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
