Without water

Properties in the Pretty Beach and Wagstaff area were left without water last week and Pretty Beach Public School closed for the day after a water main burst.

Gosford Council received a call at 7.45am reporting a water pipe break at the corner of Pretty Beach Rd and Como Parade, Pretty Beach.

Council officers responded within 15 minutes and isolated the break, but not before an estimated 5000 litres of water were lost.

According to the council, the break was significant and an excavation was required to repair the pipe.

An estimated 500 properties were affected.
