Water Wise Kowanyama

Kowanyama residents are encouraged to help conserve water while important upgrades to our water reservoirs are underway. During this period, water storage capacity is reduced, and every drop counts.

How you can help:
• Report any water leaks, broken pipes, or dripping taps as soon as possible to Council or Housing using the Blue Phone.
• Water gardens and lawns during the early morning or late evening to reduce water loss through evaporation.
• Turn off taps properly and avoid leaving water running unnecessarily.
• Use water wisely around the home and encourage family members to do the same.

By making a few small changes, we can all help ensure there is enough water for the whole community while these essential upgrades are completed.

Let's work together to keep Kowanyama Water Wise!

Water Supply Interruption Notice

Kowanyama residents are advised that a planned water shutoff will take place on Wednesday 7th October 2026, from 9.00am to 3.00pm to allow for the repair and replacement of water meters at 48B Chapman Road.

Properties on Chapman Rd, Uwelkoril Street, Karrenganang Street, Inaruwel Street and Arwin Amay may experience interruptions to their water supply during this time.

Our plumbing contractor will be working to complete the repairs as quickly and safely as possible and will make every effort to restore water services before the scheduled completion time.

We recommend residents store enough water for essential household needs during the outage period.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding while these essential works are carried out.
