August 17, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water standpipes at Benarkin, Blackbutt and elsewhere that have been put out of action by vandalism should be operating again soon.<\/p>\n

Water portfolio chair Cr Roz Frohloff told Wednesday’s Council meeting that staff had recently taken delivery of new card-operated units for the standpipes.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately the theft and vandalism of Council-operated standpipes is continuing to be an issue,” Cr Frohloff said.<\/p>\n

“Benarkin’s standpipe has been damaged beyond repair and people who rely on this valuable water source continue to have to drive to Blackbutt.”<\/p>\n

Cr Frohloff said staff are now working with the suppliers of the new units to have a Paywave facility for credit and debit cards installed, along with a prepaid swipe card facility.<\/p>\n

The use of cards on the standpipes would remove the attraction of coin boxes for thieves, and hopefully help put an end to vandalism issues.<\/p>\n

Cr Frohloff said that as soon as the new units can be configured, they will be installed by Council staff.<\/p>\n

Residents will then be able to buy prepaid cards to use with the standpipes from Council offices, or use their own Paywave cards.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully the community will be able to continue to use these facilities,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
