Vandals have been blamed for damaging SBRC water filling stations (Photo: SBRC)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

October 4, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vandals have been blamed for knocking the Nanango high-flow water standpipe out of action recently.<\/p>\n

Photographs of long queues of vehicles waiting at standpipes appeared on social media after the incident.<\/p>\n

A council spokesperson said a temporary fix had been put in place while repairs occurred.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Mayor Keith Campbell said the standpipes were provided as a service to the community at considerable cost, so it was disappointing that recent intentional vandalism had occurred, disrupting the service and resulting in extra costs to South Burnett ratepayers.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil will pursue criminal charges against persons found damaging infrastructure,\u201d Mayor Campbell said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the proprietary equipment rights, delays may result as repairs are required to be carried out by an authorised repairer.<\/p>\n

“This ensures the integrity of the system and protection of personal credit card information for patrons visiting the infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tap-and-go credit\/debit water standpipes are located at Nanango, Blackbutt, Benarkin and Hivesville.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n

          Instructions for use are displayed at all standpipes.<\/p>\n
