Beaconsfield residents resort to drinking water from bird baths amid supply issues
Residents at a social housing complex on Lefroy Road in Beaconsfield, Perth, have experienced weeks of low water pressure, culminating in a pipe burst on Friday night that cut off water entirely. This has led to a "health hazard" as residents cannot shower, flush toilets, or wash, with some resorting to drinking from bird baths. Bottled water was to be supplied to the affected residents.
