Water Ban Lifted

The Tweed’s water supply was restored at 9pm last night (27 January) with one pump now distributing water throughout the system.

While a ban on outdoor water usage has been lifted, Council encourages residents across the Tweed to continue to minimise water use as much as possible today to allow the system to recover.

The damaged water pump station is critical pumping infrastructure which delivers treated water through the distribution centre to 75,000 residents across the Tweed, including the major centres of Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Tweed Coast, Murwillumbah and all other surrounding residential areas.

Vital equipment in the pump station was damaged following a power surge caused by an electrical failure on Wednesday.
