The Adventure Bay Water Filling Station will be closed from 4.00 pm on Friday 4 April, with plans to reopen on Tuesday 8 April 8, 2025.

The water treatment plant is under extreme demand, and ongoing dry conditions have reduced supply levels. Closing the filling station temporarily will allow the system to recover and help prevent a potential outage during the upcoming holiday period.

If you have had a recent delivery of water you may have noticed some aesthetic changes in the water, such as variations in taste and appearance, this is due turbidity. However, we confirm that the water remains safe to drink, and the closure is not related to water quality

We will reassess the plant’s condition early next week and update the community on reopening plans.

In the meantime, we encourage residents to plan ahead and place orders with water carters as soon as possible.

To support system recovery, daily water limits for carters will be set at 80 kL, with the possibility of increasing to 100 kL if conditions improve.

Water carters can access an alternative supply at the Electrona Water Filling Station.

We understand this closure may cause inconvenience for local businesses and residents, but it is necessary to protect the water supply for Bruny Island.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
