The South Burnett Regional Council will be switching the source of Kingaroy’s town water supply back to Gordonbrook Dam for a short period<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 31, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

The quality of Kingaroy’s water could take another dip from Monday.<\/p>\n

Sunwater has notified the South Burnett Regional Council that the Boondooma-Tarong Pipeline – part of the system that currently supplies Boondooma Dam water to Kingaroy- will be temporarily closed to carry out routine maintenance work.<\/p>\n

This is the second time this year that Kingaroy’s water has been switched back to Gordonbrook Dam temporarily.<\/p>\n

Residents may notice a change in the characteristics of the water during this time, particularly odour, however a Council spoksman said the water would still meet the strict drinking water quality standards that Council is required to meet.<\/p>\n

Council should be able to access the water from the Boondooma-Tarong pipeline again from August 9, but it will take up to 48 hours after this changeover before the Gordonbrook Dam sourced water will be flushed through the system.<\/p>\n

Residents of Kingaroy have also been reminded to continue to adhere to the Level 2 water restrictions that are currently in place.<\/p>\n
