Proston residents may see some changes to their water over the coming months.
As part of the South Burnett Regional Council’s routine maintenance programs, the water meter replacement program in Program has begun.
This program started on 1 August and is expected to be completed by 31 December 2022, weather permitting.
Water meters are mechanical devices that wear with usage and age. Council has a proactive replacement program for water meters which are nearing the end of their useful life.
It’s an ongoing program that ensures your water meter readings (and your bills) remain as accurate as possible.
Water meter replacement depends on the specifications on the individual meter. It is normal that your meter may in fact be replaced, but your neighbour’s might not be.
Proston residents may experience discolouration in their water as the repairs may result in sediment being disturbed in the water pipes, resulting in the tap water appearing discoloured.
The following steps may assist following water maintenance works:
• Flush your plumbing by running inside and outside taps
• Avoid using the washing machine or dishwasher should water be discoloured
