Fish Creek Boil Water Advisory Lifted

Thursday, April 10th, 2025

South Gippsland Water is pleased to announce the successful resolution of the recent Boil Water Advisory in Fish Creek.  

It is recommended that customers flush internal taps for 2 minutes to draw fresh water into their internal plumbing. 

Managing Director, Robert Murphy, extends his sincerest appreciation to all customers in Fish Creek for their patience and cooperation, as well as all individuals at South Gippsland Water and in the wider community who played a vital role in managing and overcoming this challenge. 

“Over the past 24 hours, our dedicated teams worked tirelessly, demonstrating an extraordinary level of commitment. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who contributed and put in extra hours to address the issue as promptly as possible. 

“Ultimately, my biggest thanks go to our customers in Fish Creek. Your quick response and acceptance are greatly appreciated. It was heartwarming to see the community come together and to help each other out – especially those who reached out to neighbours, friends and family to check that they had received the messages and were okay,” Mr. Murphy said.  

South Gippsland Water is committed to maintaining the highest standards of water quality, according to Department of Health regulations and the actions taken reflect this. 

As part of our commitment to service excellence, the lifting of the Boil Water Advisory will trigger a $10,000 community grant under our Guaranteed Service Levels. More information will be shared over the coming weeks.
