Cleaning works on the water mains supplying the Midge Point township have progressed to stage two.
The water mains from Kunapipi Road to the Midge Point Road and Conder Parade intersection, as well as the watermains within the township, will be cleaned using a pipeline pigging and air scouring process from Monday, March 17, weather permitting.
These essential works will remove a build-up of iron and manganese minerals from the pipelines and will significantly improve the water quality for the Midge Point community.
As a result of these works, there will be intermittent and full day water interruptions and low water pressure in the Midge Point township from Monday, March 17 to Sunday, March 23.
Affected businesses and residents will be notified directly by council’s Community Engagement team and drinking water will be delivered to affected homes before works begin.
Residents are encouraged to stockpile water in their homes prior to the works commencing for drinking and bathing purposes.
This is the final stage of works for the Midge Point Water Supply Project which aims to secure consistent high-quality water for the community of Midge Point.
At the completion of the works, residents are advised to run their taps for a few minutes for the clean water to filter through. If the water continues to be slightly discoloured for 24 hours, please contact council on 1300 MACKAY (622 529).
Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and appreciates the community’s patience during these essential works.
