Paul Toole full statement: 

“Supply to around 20,000 customers in Bathurst, Wallerawang, Oberon and Lithgow has been impacted by loss of containment on the APA Young-Lithgow pipeline. 

“The incident site is near the Macquarie River and is flood impacted, making access to the affected section of pipeline challenging. 

“APA has isolated the affected section of the pipeline both up and downstream of the location. 

“APA is working on a potential solution to reinstate supply.”
