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.
Water restrictions
Following a significant decline in rainfall, the Gladstone Region was drought declared by the Queensland Government on 1 May 2019.
All residents are encouraged to reduce their water usage and be mindful of their water consumption between 4pm – 10pm as this time period coincides with increased water usage throughout the region.

Regional water supply security assessment
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 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.
