Water flushing completed

Gosford Council has completed its latest round of water main flushing and cleaning works across the Peninsula and will be reviewing the results of these works to determine whether any follow up flushing might be required.

Water main flushing works are one of many regular, on-going maintenance activities Council undertakes to maintain drinking water quality, according to the council's director of water and sewer Mr Rod Williams.

The mains flushing program was reviewed regularly and targets areas based on the results of previous works and whether local discoloured water issues had emerged, he said.

These works were also supported by regular swabbing and the, recently trialled, ice-pigging programs that helped reduce the likelihood of discoloured water.
