Middlemount Level 3 water restrictions advisory - Effective from 11 January 2021
Explore Councils by state
Isaac Regional Council, in conjunction with Anglo American, would like to advise Middlemount residents that Level 3 water restrictions will come into effect from Monday, 11 January 2021.
Recent rainfall has not sufficiently replenished regional dam and river levels. Bundoora Dam remains low and the ongoing mine operations, residential and other commercial water users mean that water conservation is an ongoing concern.
Residents should be aware that Isaac Regional Council, Middlemount Golf Club, Middlemount sporting fields, Middlemount Pony Club and the Middlemount Race Club all use recycled water for irrigating their premises. Residents will be notified through Council’s website, Facebook page and a letterbox drop to reconfirm the restrictions. We encourage residents to share this important message with their families, friends, workmates and neighbours.
