Water meter reading programme December 2021 – January 2022
South Burnett Regional Council advises that Council and its appointed water meter reading contractors will begin the water meter reading programme from Wednesday 1 December 2021,
between 6.00am and 6.00pm daily and is expected to be completed by Saturday 29 January 2022.
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 programme collects information for the billing of water consumption that will be included on the six-monthly rate notices to be issued in February 2022.
Meter reading personnel may be required to enter private properties to 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 securely contained within your property and check that garden vegetation does not obstruct access to your water meter.
For further information on local water consumption including billing and other useful information can be found on Council’s website.
For further information contact Council’s Water and Wastewater team on 1300 789 279, 4189 9100 or email info@sbrc.qld.gov.au.
