Latest update as of 9:10PM on Monday 4 August.
Please be advised that Sydney Olympic Park Authority is investigating a leak in its recycled water network, which supplies recycled water for toilets and other non-drinking uses in Sydney Olympic Park and Newington. Drinking water is not impacted.
If you are a local resident, you may notice a low flow in any household systems that use recycled water over the next 24 hours. We are working with Sydney Water for temporary measures and to fully restore the water flow to affected residents.
Please check Sydney Water’s website overnight for further updates and information. We will endeavour to provide more information with an update on Tuesday 5 August.
