Water supply restored to Holloways Beach
Published: 5th May 2026. (Note: information was correct at date of publication but may have since been changed or superseded.)
Water supply has been restored to Holloways Beach following emergency repairs to the network.
Council turned off the water supply to Holloways beach earlier today to allow for repairs to a pressure valve which controls water flow for the suburb.
The damaged valve was not properly controlling pressure in the network, causing multiple main water breaks.
Repairs to the valve have now been completed and water supply restored.
Council is finalising repairs at several mains breaks throughout the suburb.
Residents are advised that some air and debris may have enter the pipes, which will make the water may appear milky in colour however, it is safe for use.
Residents are encouraged to run an outside tap for a few minutes until the water runs clear.
If your water supply does not resume, low pressure is experienced, or the water remains discoloured after some time, please contact Council’s Call Centre on 1300 69 22 47 to report the fault.
