Gilbert Plains has had three water main breaks in the past two and a half weeks.

Michael Steven, the urban lead hand, says the water main breaks have been caused by aging infrastructure.

When a water main break occurs, Steven says they have to locate where the water is surfacing and then they have to excavate the site until they find where the break in the pipe is.

Yesterday’s two water main breaks were both repaired by 8 pm.
