Nimmitabel conserve water notice and blue-green algae alert lifted

Published on 05 March 2025

Following extensive testing, Council has lifted the conserve water notice for properties connected to the Nimmitabel town water supply and ended the blue-green algae alert for Lake Wallace Dam and the MacLaughlin River.

As of 9.30am Wednesday 5 March 2025

• Nimmitabel town water can be used without restriction
• Stock watering sourced from the MacLaughlin River and Lake Wallace Dam can resume as-normal
• All other restrictions imposed by the algae alert and conserve water notice no longer apply

Ongoing water quality analysis and testing results show that all indicators have returned to safe levels, and are remaining stable.

Council appreciates the community’s understanding and cooperation while this conservation notice and algae alert were in place.
