Bundarra residents have been boiling water since January 7 when the problems with water treatment first occurred.
Council has since advised locals that any water used for drinking or food preparation should be brought to a rolling boil before use.
Kettles with automatic shut off switches can do this. Water should then be allowed to cool and stored in a clean container with a lid and refrigerated.
Bottled water or cool boiled water should be used for drinking, washing uncooked food (for example salad vegetables and fruit), making ice, cleaning teeth, gargling and pet's drinking water.
Dishes should be washed in hot soapy water or in a dishwasher. Children should take bottled water or cool boiled water to school.
