This means that water supply will be interrupted to homes and businesses for a short time.
Affected areas include Gibbons St, Victoria St, McParland St. Bonnie-Glen Cres and Flora McCurdy walk may also experience issues with their water supply, however the water outage is not planned to affect these areas. This is scheduled to take place from 9.00am to 1.00pm, Friday 26 July 2019.
The water will be back on as soon as possible, but we recommend you fill up some containers with water before the time above and avoid running your dishwasher, washing machine or any appliances that use water. It is best not to use water from your hot water cylinder wither as the cylinder may get damaged if the water level gets too low.
When the water supply is turned back on, it’s a good idea to open a cold tap slowly and let it run for a minute or so to clear any air bubbles that may have entered the system. Air can cause the water to turn a milky colour, but this won’t affect the taste and should clear quickly.

Under contract law, parking companies can only claim for "the actual and reasonable costs they incurred". Charging $65 for a short overstay in an empty carpark is as far from reasonable as you can get.
