A boil water notice is in effect for all Melbourne and West Melbourne water customers
The Daily Melbourne team
If you get your water from the City of Melbourne, boil it first. A precautionary boil water notice is in effect after a water main break, and its exact location is unknown. Boil water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes, or use bottled water.

Bottled water works as an alternative, the city says.
