If you live in Mornington or Mount Martha, you may have low water pressure. This may continue through the night (23 March).
Your water is safe to drink. 
Our crews are doing urgent repairs to fix the issue and restore your normal supply as soon as possible. We're sorry for the disruption.

What you can do

If your indoor taps have low water pressure, check the outdoor tap next to your water meter. If you have water flowing from this tap, it’s safe to drink.

Your water is safe to drink, but if you need emergency drinking water it’s available at:

  • 53 Shandon St, Mornington
  • 120 Craigie Rd (Osborne Primary School). 

Please bring your own containers and bottles to fill up. 

Bottled water is also available at 350 Dunns Rd, Mornington (Civic Reserve Recreation Centre – Bowling Club car park).

If your water looks discoloured, this is due due to natural sediment mixing with the supply. It’s still safe to drink and will clear as the system settles.

To help water flow for the local area, please limit your water usage. This includes avoiding:

  • Using your dishwasher or washing machine
  • Taking long showers
  • Watering your garden.

If you have no water flowing from your indoor taps or from the outdoor tap next to your water meter, please contact our Faults and Emergencies team on 13 28 12.

What we're doing

Our crews are on site to fix the burst pipe that caused the issue as quickly as possible.

We’re monitoring the water quality in the area and doing testing to make sure the water remains safe drink.

We’ll keep you updated on the situation through this web page and our social media channels.
