Gladstone Regional Council has four fixed standpipes available for sale of bulk water to the public. Our standpipes are all electronic key operated to allow key holders access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The standpipes have two main connections – via an overhead hose or through a 20mm connection near the base of the standpipe. For safety reasons the overhead connection is for trucks only and is not designed for other vehicles.

Residents without a truck are required to connect via the 20mm connection.
