November 28, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Contractors and South Burnett council staff will begin the task of reading water meters around the region on Friday.<\/p>\n

The figures they collect between November 30 and January 25 will be used to calculate water charges which will appear on February rates notices.<\/p>\n

They will be visiting properties connected to the Blackbutt, Boondooma, Kingaroy, Kumbia, Murgon, Nanango, Proston, Proston Rural, Tingoora, Wondai and Wooroolin water supply schemes between the hours of 5:00am and 7:00pm.<\/p>\n

“Meter reading personnel may be required to enter properties to gain access and read the water meters,” a Council spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“For the safety of meter reading personnel, please ensure that your animals are enclosed within your property and check that garden vegetation does not obstruct access to your water meter.”<\/p>\n

Council has reminded ratepayers that changes to water usage charges and tier limits will apply to the February 2019 rates notice:<\/strong><\/p>\n
