Balranald Shire Council is conducting a follow-up program regarding unmetered water use across the Balranald and Euston townsites.
This initiative supports accurate water usage recording, responsible consumption, and fairness in billing and cost recovery.
Council is reminding all residents and property owners that, as the designated water service provider, they are responsible for ensuring the lawful and equitable use of the Shire’s water supply.
Unmetered water use occurs when water is accessed without an operational meter or without Council approval.
Please note that this is considered unauthorised use and may be treated as water theft under relevant legislation.
Council says unauthorised water use places an unfair burden on the community, compromises the integrity of Council’s water management systems, and can result in increased costs for other ratepayers.
