Emergency services rushed to Moorong Place in the southern NSW town just after 9pm tonight to reports a tank, with 4.5 million litres of water in it, had burst.
Homes in the cul-de-sac were flooded after water rushed down the hill, injuring one woman.
In a statement, NSW Police said the town would still have drinking water after council officers managed to save the second tank.
The water tanks are obvious from satellites, nestled on Cooma’s North just above homes.
Very sad. This tank was filled to help with battle against the fires. It burst, and water went everywhere.
After all the water restrictions the locals had to comply with.
Sometimes, you just can't catch a break.
