The notice was issued last Wednesday as a precautionary measure following a loss of pressure in the water mains. Said council three waters reticulation manager Tim Drennan: "The city’s water supply network relies on constant pressure to prevent any contaminants entering pipes. "No contaminants have been detected in the water so we are lifting the boil water notice. However, when combined with the huge demand for water early last week, the network wasn’t able to maintain enough pressure in that configuration, which meant a loss of water supply.”
