💦 Continuous heavy rainfall has caused high turbidity at the water intakes, affecting the performance of water treatment plants at Mossman, Whyanbeel and Wonga.

It’s hoped Whyanbeel reservoir is at a sufficient level by midday today for water to be sent slowly through to Wonga, Rocky Point and Miallo residents.

Bottled drinking water and non-potable water is continuing to be supplied at Wonga Beach State School.

🛁 Council continues to work on increasing the treated water reservoirs to a level which allows the water supply to be turned back on.

Bottled drinking water and non-potable water is available at the Port Douglas Community Hall next to the Port Douglas Library.

Staff are working hard to find short and long-term solutions to this current supply issue.

The water supply to Port Douglas will be turned off shortly until further notice.

A dramatic drop in the reservoir level a short time ago suggests there might be a major leak in the pipeline.

We’ll continue to keep you updated on the Port Douglas supply, and developments across the broader pipeline network, including Mossman, Whyanbeel and Wonga.

We appreciate residents who are d**g the right thing and helping us out, but we need locals to continue to conserve water.

Work crews are doing a sensational job working out the best way to fix the broken water pipe at Crees Creek.

Again, we ask you to pitch in and help us avoid rolling limitations and/or stopping supply.

Residents must avoid any unnecessary water consumption, such as:

💧long showers
💧washing machines
💧using the hose for cleaning
💧filling pools or
💧watering lawns.

We’ll keep you up to date throughout the weekend.

Helpful tip of the day! If you're living in an area where mini-split air-conditioning is the norm, are you doing it right? I know this is late after our HELLA HOT SUMMER but I still find this very helpful!

Here in Puerto Morelos, Mexico it is very hot and humid most of the year. If you look at the settings on your a/c remote, you'll see that it has lots of different modes available, but you may be wondering what's the difference? There are 2 modes that you're most likely to need.

First, is the snowflake option (and no, that's not a political statement! 😆), aka the cooling option.To save money, I'd recommend setting it to about 24⁰ to start and then adjusting from there if you need to. It makes a HUGE difference to me if there is a ceiling fan moving the air around, so you'll probably find that if you leave the fan on you can bump the temperature up higher than you would with it off.

Second, and I would say the setting we should probably be using most of the time, is the "droplet" setting. This is the a/c mode that will dehumidify the air in your home, which is what you want since humidity is what makes the home feel sticky or clammy and damp and can lead to mold, QUICKLY. Not only will the dehumidifier air feel cooler to you, but it is also less expensive to run and better for your home.

Remember that a/c should be shut off when you sweep or create lots of dust of any kind so it doesn't suck all that dust into the filters. You should clean the filter every few weeks, ideally; at minimum have the unit deep cleaned by a professional every 6 months or so.

If you see drips of water coming down the wall between services, especially if it appears rusty, call to have them come earlier. Also, if your unit isn't cooling well, it's important to get that looked at sooner, rather than later because it could be a sign of a refrigerant leak which could damage your unit if it isn't refilled in time. This is common also with improper install and sometimes you just can't change that drip coming down the wall.

Do you have any tips you would like to add to save money on the electric bill?
