Residents are advised that Council continues to undertake water mains replacement works in Quilpie.
Please be advised that from early October to December 2019, there will be regular road closures and water supply interruptions in all of Pegler Street and Buln Buln Street from Winchu to Galah.
Council’s planned water main replacement program will, over time, help to reduce the number of service interruptions experienced by consumers, increase water pressure and equalise flow rates.
Households affected will be notified in advance when Council needs to interrupt water supply to undertake planned maintenance and repair work. We aim to provide you with at least 48 hours’ notice prior to the event.
Please be advised that there may be occasions when unexpected supply interruptions are experienced. During such times, if your service is affected, Council’s maintenance personnel aim to restore your connection as quickly as possible.
For further information please contact Council’s Customer Service Centre on (07) 4656 0500.
