With the water level of Wivenhoe Dam to be lowered ahead of another predicted wet summer, the Queensland Government is urging Logan residents to make the most of the available water.
All households in Southeast Queensland will receive at $55 rebate on their upcoming water bill, the equivalent of 13,200 litres of free water to fill pools, washes out gutters or hose down driveways.
The discount will apply to households in Brisbane, Redlands, Logan, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Noosa, Ipswich, Somerset, Scenic Rim, Moreton Bay and the Lockyer Valley councils.
With the Bureau of Meteorology predicting another wet summer with a third consecutive La Nina forecast, the QLD Government has decided to lower the level of Wivenhoe Dam as a precaution.
The temporary reduction of the fully supply level to 8- per cent ensures Wivenhoe has increased capacity to store floodwaters should the need arise.
