Residents of bushfire-ravaged Bega Valley rely on carted water after flooding

Water is being trucked to several NSW south coast towns and a mobile treatment plant is filtering water at the Brogo dam

Towns in the bushfire-ravaged Bega Valley are relying on water carted in milk tanks after flooding made the catchment's water supply undrinkable.

Bega Valley shire council has been trucking bore water from Bega for towns such as Bermagui, Cobargo and Quaama and the Australian Defence Force has set up a mobile water treatment plant to filter the water supply at the Brogo dam.
