Mine Water from Abandoned Mine Workings

May 4, 2023

Permanently flowing from under Maitland Road Mayfield we have mine water coming from abandoned mine workings.

Mine Subsidence Authority suggests the water is coming from old mine workings that were abandoned in the 1800s. Over the last years, the mine water in these abandoned mines has spread from one building, to now affecting all 3 buildings. It has also spread to our neighbours properties as well as Myola Street and Litchfield Park.
