New water metres coming to Moreton
SOME residents in Morayfield and Burpengary will receive a new water meter this month as Unitywater identifies and replaces meters nearing the end of their eight-to-ten-year lifecycle.
Unitywater Executive Manager Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions, Mike Basterfield, said the program ensures water meter readings and customer bills remain as accurate as possible.
“We’ve replaced 4,728 meters in Burpengary and Morayfield since July 2024. We replace them for a number of reasons, including age or if high volumes of water have flowed through them, as well as other operational or asset performance factors,” Mr Basterfield said.
“Replacing a meter typically takes around 30 minutes to one hour so service interruptions are short, and any residents having their meter replaced will receive a notification card in their letterbox at least 48 hours before the works.”
He added that crews will also leave a card in the letterbox recording the final reading on the old meter, which customers are encouraged to keep for reference and cross-check when they receive their next Unitywater bill.
“The replacement works are part of our annual maintenance program and are important to continue providing a safe, reliable water supply for the community. It’s another way we’ve got a crew on the job for you.”
