The provision of reticulated water is a direct responsibility of Council with the prime objective being the provision of safe and reliable supplies at an acceptable cost to the community. Council also promotes a water conservation attitude within the community at large. Council maintains two different systems; normal pressurised and constant flow.
Fees and Charges
There are currently no water restrictions for the Gladstone Region, however we encourage everyone to use water wisely.
Consumers who have recently had advanced water meter infrastructure installed are encouraged to sign up to the My Water portal to access near real-time data on water usage, set up usage alerts and to help identify and rectify leaks promptly. By working together and being conscious of our usage, we can ensure we have a sustainable water supply for our community, now and into the future.
The Drinking Water Quality Management Plan Report documents Council's water service performance based on water quality and the implementation of actions detailed in the Queensland Government's Drinking Water Quality Management Plan (DWQMP) as required under the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008.
The report pertains to water provided by Gladstone Regional Council through four water schemes - Lake Awoonga Scheme, Bororen Scheme, Miriam Vale Scheme, and the Agnes Water/Seventeen Seventy Scheme.

The Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy and the Gladstone Regional Council have partnered to establish a shared understanding of the capability of Awoonga Dam, Gladstone's bulk water supply, to meet existing and future water demand. The Regional Water Supply Security Assessment(PDF, 5MB) describes Council's Gladstone reticulation network bulk water supply system and existing and future water use and summarises the likelihood of potential water supply restrictions and shortfalls now and into the future.
In order to comply with the requirements of section s575A of the Water Supply (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008, Council must publish its Water Services Performance Report on its website.
