LACHLAN SHIRE COUNCIL – PFAS TEST RESULTS

Published on 28 March 2025

Lachlan Shire Council and NSW Health recently conducted PFAS (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances) testing in the Condobolin, Lake Cargelligo and Tottenham water supplies. The laboratory results have been received and indicate that all Lachlan Shire water supplies sampled have returned PFAS concentration levels which are far below the current Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG). The samples were also well below the new draft guidelines for PFAS concentration in drinking water and are compliant with regulatory requirements and health standards.

Lachlan Shire Council will continue to complete regular sampling of the drinking water in accordance with the ADWG and NSW Health. More information about PFAS and other issues relating to water quality and water testing can be found on Council’s website under Environment/Pollution Monitoring and Licences.

For any further inquiries relating to water quality, please contact Council’s Infrastructure Services Department on 02 6895 1900.
