FLASHBACK: Barambah Creek in flood at Cherbourg in January 2013 … the Creek’s levels are nowhere near as high at the moment, but the water is just as dirty (Photo: Sandra Morgan)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

December 1, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wondai’s water is safe to drink, despite the facts it looks dirty and may have an earthy taste.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council advised today the discolouration is due to soil run-off following recent storms.<\/p>\n

Wondai’s water supply is sourced from Barambah Creek and treated at the Wondai Water Treatment Plant.<\/p>\n

The SBRCs Manager of Water and Waste Water, Nerida Airs, said recent storms have caused debris and soil to flow into the creek, making the water extremely dirty.<\/p>\n

“Because of the run-off, the turbidity of the water in Barambah Creek is high, which is causing some discolouration to get through the treatment system,” Ms Airs said.<\/p>\n

“Water to Wondai will be discoloured for some time until the sediment in Barambah Creek drops.<\/p>\n

“The water is still safe to drink, although some residents may notice an earthy taste and be put off by the discolouration.”<\/p>\n

Residents with any concerns should contact Council\u2019s Customer Service Centre on (07) 4189-9100.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
