Council wishes to advise about upcoming works at the 15ML water reservoir that will result in a reduction in Council’s water storage capacity at the Mareeba Water Plant.
To complete this critical water infrastructure project Council is required to drain the reservoir for guaranteed isolation while the work is completed. During this time, Council can only rely on the second reservoir with a 5ML capacity to supply water to Mareeba.
Residents are requested to limit their water consumption to HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY from 13 November 2023 to 26 April 2024.
During this time, we ask that residents comply with the following:
No unnecessary watering or irrigation of lawns or gardens, No washing of vehicles, No washing down of building or outdoor hard surfaces.This will allow adequate water supply until the project is completed and the Mareeba Water Plant Reservoirs are filled to its normal operational levels. Residents will then return to normal usage from 26 April 2024.
Council acknowledges the inconvenience this may cause and thanks the community for their cooperation.
