Nayland Rd water main break: houses without water

Good morning Nelson, those in Nayland Road will be waking up to no water this morning due to two water main breaks overnight. At this stage, we think it’s impacting about 80 properties from Aldinga Avenue (southern end) to Songer Street. We already have crews on site and expect the repair to take up to four hours. A water tanker is parked outside 4 Aldinga Avenue for residents to get water and if you know of someone who has mobility issues on Nayland Road can you please let us know so we can get water to them. Lastly, please avoid the area if you can as there will be delays along Nayland Road.
