Boil Water Notice: Injune
Injune residents are advised to boil tap water used for drinking until further notice.
A lighting strike is preventing chlorination from occurring, which will see untreated water in the system until resolved.
The boil water alert will stay in effect until Council is able to restore power and test the water.
Updates will be provided to the community, however, this notice is expected to stay in force until next week (21 February 2025).
