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.
