TasWater advises that the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has lifted the Temporary Boil Water Alert for Risdon Vale.
Test results indicate the water being supplied to TasWater customers meets the standards of both the Tasmanian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines (TDWQG) and the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG). This means Risdon Vale residents are able to consume water from their household taps without having to boil it first.
TasWater will continue to provide ongoing monitoring and testing to demonstrate water quality meets the drinking water guidelines.
TasWater appreciates the cooperation of the Risdon Vale community and although the boil water alert was short-lived, stress that our priority is to protect the health of the community.
Residents are currently being alerted to the lifting of the need to boil their drinking water with TasWater staff delivering notices door to door.
If you have any other questions or concerns please contact TasWater on 13 6992 or visit our website at www.taswater.com.au.
TasWater thanks Risdon Vale residents for their patience.
