6PM UPDATE: TasWater says water supply has been restored in the town centre but some customers may experience discolouration while crews continue to clear the line. If this happens, TasWater suggests running the outside tap closest to your water meter for about 10 minutes until the water runs clear. If ongoing water quality issues continue after that, call 13 69 92.
3PM UPDATE: A water trailer will be available at the Council Chambers in Circle St (bring your own containers)
2.30PM UPDATE: The estimated restoration time has been extended to 6pm.
EARLIER: TASWATER advises that customers in High St, Richmond St, Burnett St, Charles St, Stephen St, Pioneer Ave, George St, Hill St and surrounding areas in New Norfolk, are currently affected by an emergency water outage due to a burst water main.
The disruption was reported just before 7am. The company says crews are on site and 2pm is the approximate restoration time. More information: www.taswater.com.au
