Cook Shire Council and Queensland Reconstructive Authority are assisting local residents and businesses to clean up properties impacted by the TC Jasper floods.
16 July 2024 – 05:53PM
Please be informed that on Wednesday, 17 July 2024, teams will be replacing the Main Flow Meter at the Cooktown Main Water Reservoir. This essential maintenance work will ensure the continued reliability and efficiency of our water supply system.
Temporary Changes to Water Supply
During this period, the water supply will be switched to the Borefields. As a result, residents in Cooktown may notice a slight discolouration in their water supply. We assure you that the water remains safe to drink despite any changes in appearance.
Potential Water Pressure Impact
Additionally, some areas may experience reduced water pressure while the work is being carried out. These impacts are temporary, and regular water service is expected to resume later the same day as soon as the replacement work is completed.
Water Conservation Request
We kindly ask all residents to conserve water during the work period to help manage the temporary changes in supply and pressure.
Contact Information
If you have any questions, queries, or concerns, please contact the Council’s Water and Wastewater team during office hours at 4082 0500 or by emailing mail@cook.qld.gov.au
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
