Aussie Natural Spring Water to the rescue of Chittering Residents

Announcement posted by Aussie Natural Spring Water 10 Oct 2014

Since the burning of pine tree residue on Sunday the 21st of September, Shire of Chittering Residents have been forced to only drink commercially sourced bottled water after deposited ash has tainted local rain water tanks.
The fire commenced at about 6.45 am with the prevailing wind blowing smoke and ash in an easterly direction towards Rosa Park, where it settled on roofs and gutters. Later in the morning heavy rain washed this material into rainwater tanks on many properties.

The controlled burn’s ash has rendered the water undrinkable as the ash has introduced potentially harmful by-products from the burnt bush, plastics and metals. The Shire of Chittering recommended that the water is indefinitely not used for preparing foods, washing and bathing, cleaning teeth or watering animals.

Over the last week extensive water tank testing has been carried out by the Shire and thankfully the contaminant levels identified within the water were deemed “negligible”. This outcome meant that the Rosa Park Residents will experience no long or short term health effects following use of the water, although aesthetically there is a lingering taste and smell, making the water undesirable to drink.

This has caused a great inconvenience caused to nearly fifty properties after they were left stranded without water for several days. However, well-known Perth natural spring water company, Aussie Natural, kindly stepped in and donated clean, pure drinking water for the affected residents.

The company supplied everyone with bags of their natural spring water which is easy to use in many instances due to its unique tap fitting. Having this supply of fresh water has allowed the residents to have access, once again, to drinkable and safe water.

Effected Rosa Park locals, Pia and Kerry Juner, have expressed their appreciation saying, “We would to take this opportunity to thank you and your team very much for your prompt, professional manner in all your dealings with this matter. Nothing was ever too much trouble for you, we would like to thank you for all your effort and hard work!  Please pass on our thanks also to Aussie Natural Spring Water for the water.”\

People who are still struggling and have not yet claimed their bags of spring water should head to the Shire of Chittering’s office as there is a large stock supply available there for the community.

Alternatively call the friendly team at Aussie Natural on 1300 360 332 to organise the free delivery of your bags of spring water.

If you are unsure about the quality of the water in your tank contact the Shire of Chittering’s Health Services on 9576 4600 to see if you are eligible for free water testing.
