Golden Plains Shire Standpipes
Council operates nine mains connected standpipes and five publically accessible bores across the municipality to provide water for stock and domestic supply.
Access to the standpipes operates on a permit system. Residents can purchase a permit from the permit provider for $30 (2019/20 price) which allows the permit holder to take up to 5000 litres of water over the period of one month.
The standpipes are connected to the reticulated water supply systems operated by Central Highlands Water and Barwon Water. This is drinking quality water and has to be used in line with the water restrictions enacted by the respective water authorities at the time of taking the water.
Theft of water from standpipes places an unfair burden on the rest of the community as it is unreasonable to expect ratepayers and honest users to cover the cost of this water. The cooperation of the community is greatly appreciated.
The bores at Wallinduc, Cape Clear, Napoleons, Dereel and Warrambine are for stock water supply only.
Theft of water from standpipes places an unfair burden on the rest of the community as it is unreasonable to expect ratepayers and honest users to cover the cost of this water.
Theft of water will be referred to the authorities.
