Guyra fluoride dosing plant temporarily offline

10th Mar 2026

Armidale Regional Council advises the Guyra community that the fluoride dosing plant at the Guyra Water Treatment Plant is currently offline due to the need for major maintenance works.
The outage was necessary to address issues identified with the fluoridation system to ensure its ongoing safety, reliability and compliance.
The fluoride dosing plant is expected to be returned to service in the first week of April 2026, following completion of the required maintenance and recommissioning checks.
During this period, Guyra’s treated water remains safe to drink and continues to meet the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines. The temporary outage affects fluoridation only and does not impact other treatment processes at the plant.
NSW Public Health has been notified of the temporary shutdown in accordance with regulatory requirements.
Council’s water team will continue to closely monitor water quality throughout the maintenance period and will restore fluoridation once all works and verification processes are completed.
Armidale Regional Council thanks the Guyra community for its understanding while this essential maintenance is undertaken.
