Oberon Community Water Quality Concerns.

Council would like to thank the community for its attendance at the April Ordinary Meeting on Tuesday night and acknowledges the communities concern regarding the quality of the Oberon water supply. As discussed on the night, Council will provide a public response to those questions taken on notice via Councils website – www.oberon.nsw.gov.au

As stated at the meeting, Council engaged independent experts City Water Technology (CWT) to undertake assessment and provide recommendations to Council as to how it can improve processes to ensure its ongoing compliance.

Council has endorsed this document prepared by CWT and propose to implement these recommendations in consideration of the financial constraints on the ratepayer. Council have committed to keeping the community updated on all works as they are undertaken.

At the meeting there was some commentary linking previous water initiatives to water quality. Council will address those to ensure appropriate independent advice is obtained.

Oberon Council is committed to providing the best quality of water for our community.
