Woy Woy Bay returns to normal

Gosford Council has announced that water quality in the area of Woy Woy Bay has returned to normal following a wastewater overflow in the area last month.

Gosford Council's project communication officer Mr Nathan Slade said that on Friday, November 16, Council responded to an overflow from its wastewater network in Horsfield Bay.

Mr Slade said crews then repaired the system and it had been operating as normal since.

Temporary warning signs advising the community that the waters of Woy Woy Bay might be polluted following the wastewater overflow were taken down on Wednesday, November 21.

"Laboratory sample results showed water quality in the affected area of Woy Woy Bay had returned to normal and the community were advised that the waterway was safe for use," said Mr Slade.
