PUBLIC NOTICE • WATER MAINS SCOURING •

Council wishes to advise residents that air scouring of water mains will be conducted across the region as follows:

✅ Barcaldine – Tuesday 27 October to Thursday 5 November
✅ Alpha and Jericho – Thursday 5 November to Tuesday 10 November
✅ Aramac – Tuesday 10 November to Thursday 12 November
✅ Muttaburra – Thursday 12 November to Sunday 15 November

Work will take place from 6.00am to 6.00pm.

During this time residents may experience temporary discolouration of water or minor fluctuations in the water pressure. This is a normal part of the scouring process and will resolve once works are complete.

This may create noise whilst the works are being carried out.

We thank you for your cooperation during this time.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Council.
