Burdekin Shire residents are being advised that bi-annual water supply meter readings will commence from Monday, 13 April 2026.
The readings will be carried out in stages across the region over several weeks, with timelines dependent on weather conditions.
Meter reading is expected to begin in Home Hill and surrounding areas, including Rossiters Hill, Mt Kelly and Alva Beach, from 13 April through to late April. Crews will then move to the outskirts of Ayr, Sutcliffe Estate, Brandon, Giruand nearby areas from late April to early May.
The final stage, scheduled from early to mid-May, will cover Parkside, East Ayr, Ayr CBD and South Ayr.
Council has advised that meter readings may also take place on weekends where required.
To assist meter readers, residents are asked to ensure water meters are easily accessible by clearing away any obstructions, restraining or isolating dogs, and unlocking gates where necessary.
Residents requiring specific access arrangements or further information are encouraged to contact Council’s Customer Service Centre on (07) 4783 9800 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, or visit the Council website.
Council has thanked residents in advance for their cooperation during the meter reading period.
