Townsville residents urged to conserve water

Residents across the community are being urged to conserve water.

The flooding has caused a number of burst pipes and put pressure on the Douglas Treatment Plant.

Council crews are working hard to fix the issue but we do not know when it will be completed.

Please try to avoid using washing machines, dishwashers and irrigation systems until further notice.
