Water Meter Reading Program scheduled to commence 29-11-20
South Burnett Regional Council wishes to advise residents that Council and/or its appointed water meter reading contractors will soon begin reading water meters throughout the region
for the half year period ending 31 December 2020. This will apply 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 meter readings.
The water meter reading program will commence on Saturday 29 November 2020 and is expected to continue until Friday 26 January 2021 and will be conducted between the hours of 6.00am and 6.00pm daily.
The water meter reading program collects information for the billing of water consumption that will be included on the 6 monthly rate notices to be issued in February 2021.
Meter reading personnel may be required to enter properties to gain access to and read the water meters. It is a requirement of our water meter reading personnel that soil or other material that is removed from any meter box to record a reading is returned to the meter box. This prevents drains from being blocked or ratepayer lawns being damaged by anything removed from the meter box.
For the safety of meter reading personnel, please ensure that your animals are enclosed within your property and check that garden vegetation does not obstruct access to your water meter.
More details about the billing of water consumption and other useful information can be found on Council’s website ‘Rates’ page.
Please direct any enquiries regarding water meter readings to Council’s Rates team by phone 4189 9100 or email here.
