Scheme water cannot be guaranteed during a bushfire
Water Corporation is prepared for bushfire season. However, we cannot guarantee that water pressure or water supply will be maintained in the event of a bushfire. Extreme demand, fire damage and power cuts can all result in a total loss of water.
If you plan to stay and defend your property during a bushfire, you must have your own independent water supply and pumping capability, and must not rely on scheme water.
Full details about how to prepare for the bushfire season can be found at www.firechat.wa.gov.au
