The Dayboro community's water supply is not connected to the SEQ Water Grid and relies on its own supply from bores in the North Pine River.
The river stopped running in September 2019 due to lack of rainfall and the wells underground are not replenishing enough to keep up with the current demand in this community.
Water consumption in Dayboro is higher than this time last year and higher than other areas across South East Queensland. We need the community to work together to limit all non-essential indoor and outdoor water use and help avoid water restrictions.
