Council has been undertaking work on the fluoride dosing systems at Denman and Muswellbrook water treatment plants to continue delivery of high-quality drinking water to the community. The fluoride dosing systems will be affected during this work, and an expected timeline for completion is outlined below. When the fluoride dosing systems are paused, water can be consumed as normal, and the benefits provided by fluoride dosing will resume at the completion of the projects.

Denman Fluoride Treatment

Council has undertaken major maintenance service works on the Denman Water Treatment Fluoride Dosing System, and fluoride dosing has resumed as of October 2024.

Muswellbrook Fluoride Treatment

There is currently a pause on fluoride dosing at the Muswellbrook Water Treatment Plant because Council is upgrading the fluoride dosing equipment for the Muswellbrook Water Treatment Plant funded through the NSW Department of Health. New equipment has been installed with connections and commissioning to proceed soon. The expected return to service date for the Muswellbrook Water Treatment Plant is March 2025.
