Gippsland Water launches emergency water trailer, providing access to drinking water during emergencies
Gippsland Water has launched a 2000-litre emergency water trailer, ensuring communities have access to drinking water during service disruptions, supported by staff and equipped with multiple taps for faster service.
Gippsland Water has unveiled a new water trailer designed to support communities in times of emergency. The trailer holds up to 2000 litres of drinking water and is colourfully branded with the organisation's Drink Gippy Tap campaign.

Managing director Sarah Cumming said the trailer could be deployed to communities when regular water services were disrupted. "Extreme weather and prolonged power outages can impact our ability to treat water at the usual rate."
"This trailer will help us ensure communities have timely and local access to drinking water, while we work to restore services. Our customers have told us they value our presence during emergency events and this is one way we can do that, providing valuable support to our communities when they need us most," Ms Cumming said.
The water trailer will be accompanied by members of Gippsland Water's team, who will assist community members in filling up drink bottles and other water containers. It is equipped with four taps, allowing multiple containers to be filled at the same time and reducing wait times.
