CLERMONT RAG
FRIDAY OCTOBER 5, 2018
WATER CONSERVATION MATTERS AS DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE Residents in the Isaac region are encouraged to make water conservation a part of their daily habits as Clermont is set for more restrictions this week.
restrictions active since September 10 as there is no water passing over the weir 100 metres upstream of the Carmila Creek bore, which supplies the local water treatment plant.
Clermont, St Lawrence and Carmila currently have restrictions in their communities due to a drop in water levels at their raw water source.
In neighbouring St Lawrence, level one water restrictions are still in place as the current storage in the St Lawrence Creek Weir, which supplies the local water treatment plant, has fallen more than 0.5 metres below the spillway level.
This measure comes as more than 90 per cent of the region is drought declared. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said Clermont will join Carmila in level two water restrictions this Friday, October 5. “Current storage in Theresa Creek Dam, which supplies the local water treatment plant, is presently more than 1.25 metres below the spillway level,” Mayor Baker said. “This is the trigger for Level 2 water restrictions. “This means hand held hoses only, no watering on any day between 9am and 5pm and watering is permitted between 5am to 9am and 5pm to 9pm on watering days. “Automated irrigation systems can be used but for garden beds only, no grassed areas. “Mobile water tankers, unless used for firefighting, must apply for an exemption to use Council’s raw water or potable water standpipes to fill up their tankers. “No water is to be used for dust suppression. “We know how tough everyone is doing in the west and we ask everyone to adopt some water-saving habits.” Carmila on the Isaac coast has had level two water

Mayor Baker said all other Isaac region communities are encouraged to adhere to water conservation measures. “Conserving and maintaining water quality is especially important in Australia, the world’s driest inhabited continent,” she said. “We’ve got some really good water saving tips on our website, it’s a free service and it’s worth a look. “Conserving water especially in this sort of climate is everybody’s business.” As at September 19, 2018, 90.3 per cent of the Isaac Regional Council’s local government area was drought declared. Visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/water-restrictions for more information on water restrictions and water conservation measures. Ratepayers can sign up to miwater, a website that provides water consumption details at isaac.qld.gov.au/miwater. For comprehensive information on water charges visit Council’s website or Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227).
COUNCIL SEEKS GRASSROOTS FEEDBACK ON DROUGHT IMPACT Isaac Regional Council is calling on local primary producers and agri-business to share their experiences of the present drought conditions, and possible measures to provide relief, as part of a regional survey. Mayor Anne Baker said Council was undertaking a survey of rural growers and producers, along with their suppliers and service providers, in an effort to ascertain the full impact of drought conditions on rural enterprise in Isaac region. “We know our agricultural sector is doing it tough at present with more than 90 per cent of the Isaac region currently drought declared,” she said. “The footprint of the present drought declaration captures about 2900 rural properties and 428 of the 479 registered agricultural businesses within the region. “Council is seeking to gather information to help inform the development and delivery of support initiatives to local primary producers and agri-business affected by the drought.” Mayor Baker said the gross value of agricultural commodities produced in Isaac region annually was almost $550 million, with agriculture sector directly employing 5.4 per cent of the region’s workforce.
“Isaac Regional Council listens to its community and this is an opportunity for primary producers and agri- business to ‘have their say’ on the types of measures which will provide tangible relief and assistance to them in response to the drought conditions,” she said. “Half the net proceeds from the 2018 Mayor’s Charity Ball, which supports the Isaac Regional Charity Fund, are already being donated to drought relief initiatives to support local producers, but there is more that we can do as a council and a community. “The Isaac is a resilient region and our community spirit comes to the fore in the good times and bad. “We are a region driven by pure people power. “If you are involved in farming, grazing or agri-business - or know someone who is - please get involved in this survey to help us develop an informed assistance measures.” To complete the survey, visit Council’s engagement portal at isaac.qld.gov.au/community- engagement and follow the link. Printed copies of the survey are also available at Council offices and libraries regionwide.
