Water is flowing down the side of Perricoota Rd, Moama, due to a broken water main at the Moama water treatment plant.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, April 29, just before 5pm, Murray River Council said there was a filtered water outage and has urged residents and businesses to conserve water usage.

Some areas of town are now without water supply or are experiencing pressure issues, and the issue is expected to take some time to be fixed.
