Dubbo Regional Council (DRC), in consultation with NSW Health, has issued the alert and immediately activated its public health response plan for residents in the town.
Residents are advised to boil water used for:
- Drinking
- Brushing teeth
- Washing and preparing food or beverages
- Preparing baby formula
- Making ice
Unboiled water may be used for:
- Showering and bathing but residents should minimise that amount of water taken into their mouth. As a precaution babies and toddlers should be sponge bathed.
- Washing dishes by hand or in a dishwasher provided dishes are air-dried before being used after washing
- Washing clothes
- The town's water filling station has been temporarily closed and token holders are able to use the water filling station at Wellington.
Geurie residents are asked to limit water usage while the precautionary alert is in place and until the quality of flows from the town's treatment plant returns to NSW Health standards.
Special bottled water supplies will be delivered to Geurie Public School.
