The Water Business Unit advises that surface water levels at Bendals Valley have fallen below the level required for extraction. As a result, communities normally supplied by the Bendals Water Treatment Plant will now receive water from the Ffryes Reverse Osmosis Plant and available well sources within the Bendals Valley.
Communities normally served by the Bendals Water Treatment Plant include Bendals Village, Bendals Road, Bathlodge, Cashew Hill, Whenner Road, Brownes Avenue, Martins Village, DeSouza Road, Tindale Road, Golden Grove Eastern Section and Golden Grove Extension.
The Ffryes R.O. Plant also directly serves Big Creek, Ebenezer, Jennings, Bolans, Crab Hill, Johnsons Point, Urlings, Cades Bay and Old Road.
With the Ffryes R.O. Plant now supplying a wider customer base, customers in communities served by both the Bendals Water Treatment Plant and the Ffryes R.O. Plant may experience lower water pressure, shorter service periods and longer intervals between scheduled distribution days.
Water service will be rotated among the affected communities. Customers are encouraged to store water responsibly when service is available and to continue practising water conservation.
The Water Business Unit thanks customers for their patience and understanding as it continues to manage the available water supply.
