'It was just gross.' 9News
On December 21, the massive Gospers Mountain fire came terrifyingly close to the town centre and destroyed about five properties on the edge of Lithgow.
"The weather calmed down a little bit, but a couple of days later it was forecast for the wind and heat to come in again. Tania Aussel, who runs the local Tin Shed Café, said the water outages had forced her to close her business for five days in the last six weeks. "The water infrastructure here needs a total overhaul and they are sort of putting bandaids on things."
Mr Buckens admitted the council was not sure why the iron and manganese sediment was continuing to plague the town's water supply even after the system had been flushed out repeatedly. "All our water sampling to date has shown that there are no health risks. NSW Health, our samples to them have confirmed that everything is within the Australian drinking water guidelines," he said.
