Dear Families
This morning we were notified of a major gas line rupture in the Bathurst, Oberon and Lithgow regions. As a result, the gas line has been turned off. This is currently impacting services at our Whiddon Kelso Home, including hot water, gas stoves and clothes dryers.
We have activated our emergency plan and begun sourcing linen off-site, alternate washing facilities for residents (Bed Bath Wipes), as well as alternate cooking arrangements.
We are unsure at this stage how long the outage will last, however, will keep you updated as the situation evolves.
If the outage does extend for a period of time, we may ask for your support with washing and drying your loved ones’ personal items. We will notify you asap if this support is required.
We appreciate your patience at this time.
The Whiddon Team
