Water Supply Networks

There are 3 water supply networks in the Narromine Shire. Narromine, Trangie and Tomingley's drinking water is sourced from a range of bores.

Monitoring Water Quality

Council has a comprehensive monitoring and testing program to ensure the safety of the drinking water. Regular water samples are collected and tested from water sources, treatment plants and pipe networks. These tests look at microbiological and chemical levels that can affect customers’ health, as well as aesthetic physical quality levels that can affect the taste and colour of water.

Monitoring Water Quality 

 In 2023-2024, Narromine Shire Council performed routine drinking water sampling and testing to monitor the quality of drinking water. The results were submitted to the NSW Drinking Water Database. Compliance is determined against the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (2011) guideline values for E. coli, physical and chemical characteristics of drinking water.

The Narromine supply system achieved compliance of 100% for physical, 100% for chemical, and 100% for microbiological samples.

The Tomingley supply system achieved compliance of 80% for physical, 100% for chemical, and 100% for microbiological samples.

The Trangie supply system achieved compliance of 87.5% for physical, 100% for chemical, and 100% for microbiological samples.
