Water Meter Reading Program – October to December 2026

Published on 03 September 2026

South Burnett Regional Council advises residents that Council and/or its appointed water meter reading officers have commenced reading water meters throughout the region for the half‑year period, with the program expected to continue until Friday 18 December 2026. Water meter readings will be conducted between the hours of 6.00am and 6.00pm daily.

This program applies to all premises connected to the water supply schemes in Blackbutt, Boondooma, Kingaroy, Kumbia, Murgon, Nanango, Proston, Proston Rural, Tingoora, Wondai and Wooroolin, for the purpose of recording water consumption.

Information collected during this period will be used for the billing of water consumption and will be included on the six‑monthly rate notices issued in April 2027.

Meter reading personnel may be required to enter private land to gain access to water meters. Property owners are responsible for ensuring Council personnel have clear and safe access to meters for maintenance and reading purposes. Garden beds and tree planting near water meters should be avoided, and a minimum one (1) metre clearance must be maintained around the meter.

For the safety of meter reading personnel, please ensure animals are securely enclosed within your property and that vegetation does not obstruct access to the water meter.
