19.01.2022 NSW Health is urging parents and carers to keep young children at home if they are sick amid a rise in viral gastroenteritis cases in childcare centres. Gastroe...nteritis is highly infectious and may spread rapidly in childcare centres. Nearly 60 childcare centres reported outbreaks of gastroenteritis in October, which is significantly higher than usual. More than 480 children and 120 staff have been affected and levels have remained high throughout November. Symptoms of viral gastroenteritis include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, abdominal pain, headache and muscle aches. They can take up to three days to develop and usually last between one or two days, sometimes longer. For more information visit https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/gastroenteritis/

07.01.2022 Level 1 water restrictions will be removed from 1 October 2020 Since water restrictions were introduced almost a year ago, our community has used on average 1...5% less water than we expected, which is equivalent to saving the water use of 52,000 households! On top of that, our significant investment in leakage reduction across our network has led to a further 13% fall last financial year, bringing the total reduction to 34% in three years outstanding! Smart Water Choices will apply for all our customers on 1 October 2020 We encourage everyone to maintain the great water saving behaviours that have become the new normal. We need everyone to help us Love Water all year round by continuing to make smart water choices in their daily lives. Learn more: https://bit.ly/32FlV73
