APA Crews have reinstated gas supply into the Bathurst town, which will allow the network operator Jemena to start progressively turning customers back on in the Bathurst area where required.

This follows a gas leak overnight on the Young Lithgow Pipeline that affected gas supply to Bathurst, Wallerawang, Lithgow and Oberon.

Turning customers back on in the Bathurst area will take some time, however, we will provide updates as soon as they become available.

As Bathurst is progressively reinstated, gas supply to Wallerawang, Lithgow and Oberon is expected to remain affected for some time.

Crews continue to work as quickly and as safely as possible to investigate. An initial assessment suggests that flooding is likely to be a factor, however, we continue to investigate the cause.

While the investigation to Wallerawang, Lithgow and Oberon are expected to take some time, the gas leak has been isolated and made safe.
