Boreen Point village is on tank water only. We do not have reticulated town water. Therefore our water supply is not treated and is a valuable resource.
Water is collected directly off the roof and stored in water tanks at the property where it is pumped into the house. If all taps are off, no toilets/showers in use and the pump keeps going, then you may have a leak somewhere in the system and you should call the office.
Some houses have filters and some do not. Either way if your not used to tank water, we highly recommend that you boil water for drinking or buy drinking water from the general store.
Sometime water can be discoloured from vegetation or even have a slight floral odour from pollen and flowers. If you are concerned we can chlorinate the supply, but its perfectly safe to use for showers, cleaning etc.
Please use water wisely. Tank levels are monitored on a regular basis to ensure your supply. If you use excessive amounts of water and run out, it may take up to 24 hours to get a delivery. Excessive use can also overload the septic systems and cause spillage.
Please refrain from washing boats and cars, leaving taps running unnecessarily or taking long showers.
