Water
Air scouring
Air scouring works of the water supply are continuing to take place in Narrabri on the western side of Namoi Creek. The project aims to improve water quality in the affected areas.
Residents have been notified and further communications have been published on Council's social media, including a weekly schedule as to where air scouring works are taking place.
Notices state that the works are of a six to seven-hour duration (starting at 9.00am), however, each block/property will only experience a water outage for a maximum of two hours during this time.
February PFAS test results
The February testing results have once again identified PFAS levels below the current Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.
This means that the Narrabri Town Water Supply continues to be safe for consumption.
Council will continue to test the water supply monthly and report back to residents.
NSW Health is recommending that any private bore owners consider testing their groundwater.
