Water all clear at Warner Lakes

Water at Warner Lakes has been given a clean bill of health, with the Queensland Government confirming high-fluoride water accidently released from a nearby water treatment plant never reached the estate.

In late April 2009, an incident at North Pine Dam water treatment plant resulted in small amount of water being released from the plant with excessive fluoride levels.

An independent investigation has found the affected water never reached the ‘trunk line’ that services Warner Lakes, clearing any concerns of the residents at Peet Limited’s popular Warner Lakes estate.

The Government has, however, confirmed the affected water may have been consumed by children at a YMCA camp and four houses on the treatment plant site for one hour, between 8am and 9am, on 30 April 2009 and possibly up to 500 residents in Joyner.
