Council's Stock and Domestic Water Supply Points
Strathbogie Shire Council has recently received complaints about people misusing the stand pipes that supply both stock and domestic water. Council would like to implore the community to please do the right thing so that the service can be available for everyone to use.
Councillors Mick Williams and Colleen Furlanetto said, "It is very distressing when the actions of a few inconsiderate individuals impacts on a service that is needed for the rest of the community. Please do the right thing so that we can ensure this valuable and well utilised service is maintained."
