So great to see essential workers, or coronavirus champions, being celebrated!

Our crews have had to make some adjustments to the way they work, but they are still out in the community making sure water is delivered to your home and that your waste is taken away.

People are advised to stay away from the ocean and surrounding areas – it’s best to stay safe, and take care at home in your bubbles.

Roads have been closed, and our trucking operations from the Moa Point treatment plant and the Southern Landfill are taking an alternative route along State Highway 1 and up through Brooklyn (pictured below) until the coast road can be cleaned up and reopened. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Stay safe everyone, and thanks to local residents for their patience and understanding.
