Unitywater Executive Manager Sustainable Infrastructure Solutions, Mike Basterfield, said Unitywater identified and replaced water meters that were aged or had high use with large volumes of water having flowed through them.
“By proactively doing this work, we’re maintaining exceptional service for our customers, including ensuring water meter readings are correct and bills remain as accurate as possible,” Mr Basterfield said.
Mr Basterfield said replacements would continue in 2026, with meters to be replaced in Bli Bli, Nambour, Dayboro and Kallangur in January.
“The work typically takes around 30 minutes to one hour, so service interruptions are short. Residents having their meter replaced will receive a notification card in their letterbox at least 48 hours before the work commences,” he said.
“Our crews are always on the job for you, and after the work is complete, they’ll pop a card in your letterbox with a recording of the water consumption measured by the old meter.
“We encourage you to keep this reading for reference, and to cross-check it when you receive your next Unitywater bill.”
