Temporary disruption to Kingaroy water supply

Due to low water levels, this water contains increased algae, iron and manganese levels causing increased turbidity and discolouration. Whilst turbidity levels have been increased, the water has been treated through proper disinfection processes and meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines (ADWG).

At this time Council is unaware of how long this interruption will occur, however will provide updates when available. 

Please note there may be up to an additional three days for water to flush through the network.

Once water has flushed through the system, the following steps may assist:

• Flush your plumbing by running the outside tap closest to your water meter for a few minutes until the water runs clear. This will avoid any further discoloured water entering into the house taps.

• Run the individual taps within the house starting from the front and working towards the back of the property until all water runs clean. This will ensure that all water through the house is cleared.

• Run the tap at the back of the property to flush out any discolouration left in the pipes.

• Avoid using the washing machine or dishwasher while the water remains discoloured.

Sunwater are currently working to restore the Boondooma pipeline service as soon as possible.

Council apologises for any inconvenience caused during this time.

Please direct any enquiries to Council’s Water and Wastewater section by phone 4189 9100 or email Council.
