A further 400,000 people across the nation regularly drink water that fails aesthetic standards.
In a landmark case in 2023, the Northern Territory Supreme Court ruled the public housing landlord was legally required to provide safe drinking water to its tenants.
The decision, which related to uranium levels in a remote community's water supply, gave tenants more power to demand their water quality be improved if it did not meet safety standards and to seek recourse for any health impacts.
Ms Gallagher, a mother with three children under 12, said not enough was being done to ensure young people and pregnant women could easily access bottled water in Nyirripi.
"For the longer term, I want to see something at the school changed," she said.
"Kids attend every day, and we need water for the kids ⊠and for water to be delivered to houses [instead of the community store].
"We just want Nyirripi to be safe and for more water to be delivered."
PWC said Nyirripi's tap water was "blended from existing bores to produce the best water quality possible".
"New bores have been drilled in both communities and investigations are underway to determine the levels of naturally occurring fluoride or if water treatment may be required," the spokesperson said.
In the Northern Territory, PWC also provides bottled water for infants in the communities of Nauiyu due to fluctuating manganese levels and in Ti Tree due to nitrate levels.
