SOURTHERN DOWNS REGIONAL COUNCIL- STANTHORPE SWITCHES TO SMART WATER TECHNOLOGY

Drought resilience and improved long-term water security is one step closer with the installation of new digital smart water technology beginning to roll-out to Stanthorpe residential and commercial properties in October 2022.

Fitted with radio transmitters, smart water meters will replace the existing mechanical water meters to help reduce the loss from leaks, improve accuracy of water bills, inform better water use decisions and enhance customer service by providing access to real-time water consumption data.

More than 2,700 properties will benefit from the installation during Stage 1 of the State and Federal Government-funded project.

This project is jointly funded by the State and Federal Government via the Local Economy Recovery funding program and co-contribution from Council.
