OVERVIEW:

The Shire of Dumbleyung has established standpipes around the shire to allow farmers access to non-potable water for spraying and stock purposes.

​​

TO USE:

Each standpipe has a card at its location; complete the card by recording any amount of water that is taken from the standpipe, and you will be invoiced monthly.

​

There are no pumps at any standpipe's tanks, so water pressure is purely dependent on gravity or mains pressure. To take water out at a faster rate, you will need to connect your own transfer pump.

USAGE CHARGES:

The current price for water taken from a standpipe is $4.50/kL for community/residential, $6.50/kL for non-residential use, and $11.50/kL for commercial/civil & construction use. These usage charges are issued monthly to the contact details supplied on the initial standpipe application form.

​

SET UP AN ACCOUNT:

Contact the Shire of Dumbleyung to set up an account; the Standpipe Cards are collected and invoiced monthly.

To update your account details, please contact the Shire in writing to enquiries@dumbleyung.wa.gov.au.
