Hastings River Update as at 27/02/2019
Council is currently not extracting water from the Hastings River due to low river levels. We are relying on stored water at Port Macquarie and Cowarra dams.
River Extraction Update as at 9/11/2018
Council experienced an extended period without any inflow to Port Macquarie Dam due to the trunk main relocation associated with RMS works at Spencers Cutting Wauchope, and unsuitable water quality following rainfall in the catchment at the end of October 2018.
