    NOTICE
    Important Information
    About Your Water
    Supply
    Queensland Urban Utilities, a division of
    Brisbane City Council, is currently
    upgrading the Eildon Hill Reservoir at
    Windsor.

    As part of these works the reservoir will


    be shut down temporarily for essential
    maintenance.

    From Monday 3 May 2010, some


    customers in Albion, Grange, Lutwyche,
    Newmarket, Wilston, Windsor and
    Wooloowin will receive their water from
    another reservoir during the works, which
    are due for completion by October.

    Some customers may temporarily receive


    cloudy water for the first few days, due to
    the change in water flow. These changes
    are temporary and water will continue to
    meet the Australian Drinking Water
    Guidelines during this time.

    There will be no change to your water


    pressure or interruption to water supply.

    Thank you for your patience during these


    essential works as we ensure the
    long-term sustainability and efficiency of
    Brisbane’s water infrastructure.

    For more information,


    please contact
    Queensland
    Urban Utilities on
    13 23 64.
