As the immediate health risks have now abated the sampling program of household water tanks following the bushfires has now closed. Those residents in the bushfire affected areas that have concerns regarding drinking water may contact Latrobe City Council Health Services for advice or alternatively read the DHS publication titled Your Private Drinking Water Supply.
