MIDGE POINT residents are now enjoying a renewed and refreshed water supply following the completion of significant works to water infrastructure in the region.
The most recent and final stage of improvements involved extensive cleaning of watermains suppling the Midge Point township, which required a planned water outage over several days.
Mayor Greg Williamson said council truly appreciated the patience of the community during this most recent phase of the project.
“While we tried to lessen the impact of the water outage by supplying bottled drinking water and restoring water at night for cleaning purposes, we recognise that this still required a level of planning and preparation for residents,” Mayor Williamson said.
“We understand this was inconvenient and we thank everyone for their patience,” he said.
“All planned improvements to the network have been completed but, as always, our water network teams are on standby to address any issues should they be raised.
“We often take quality drinking water for granted, but this project has showed just how much goes into getting water from its natural source to our homes and workplaces, and ensuring it’s of top quality once it gets there.”
Midge Point Tavern owner Neil Brooks said he was relieved to see the improvement in water quality.
“We are a proud community out here, and having our water issues resolved means that we can now be confident of our township’s future and potential growth.,” Mr Brooks said.
“It’s been a journey and together with council we’re glad we’ve been able to find a long-term solution.”
