Drinking water is not affected, and remains 100% safe to drink.
We have detected non-toxic species of blue-green algae in Wurdee Boluc reservoir above the guideline levels for recreational users.
We’re putting up signage at the reservoir to alert visitors. While you can still enjoy birdwatching, walking, and picnicking, we advise against fishing until the bloom clears and the signs are removed.
We optimise and adjust our treatment plant processes to ensure continued supply of safe, high-quality drinking water.
We will continue to monitor the reservoir and have increased our regular water testing schedule.
