AlburyCity is aware that some households may notice discoloured water during or after the cleaning program. We understand that this can be off putting, and we want to reassure the community that we are closely monitoring the situation. The change in water colour is mainly due to naturally occurring manganese being stirred up during the flushing process. This can happen more often during warmer weather or following high water use. NSW Health has advised that manganese at these levels is not expected to cause health issues. If your water appears discoloured, simply run your front garden tap for about 15 minutes until it clears.
