If you missed the @abc730 report on drinking #water in #Walgett last night, you can now view it online. Hear directly from residents about how they're impacted and their vision for the community's future.
Most of us take access to clean drinking water for granted. For the past 5 years the community of Walgett in north-west NSW has had to rely on bore water. Many are now refusing to drink it, complaining that it's slimy, salty and smells. #abc730 @Williams__Carly
