    Residents in Giru are being asked to conserve water while upgrades to the Cungulla/Giru Water Treatment Facility are carried out in the next few weeks.

    Burdekin Shire Council Operations Manager Wayne Saldumbide said the plant would be undergoing an upgrade and water supplies to Giru could be affected from May 25 through to June 15.

    “Townsville Water is upgrading the facility to enable remote monitoring of the plant,” he said.

    “During the wet season there are often times that Townsville Water employees are unable to access the plant and these works will enable Townsville Water to monitor the efficiency of the plant during times of flood.

    “Potable water will be trucked to Giru to maintain supplies during the upgrade, but I urge residents to conserve water for the duration of the works.

    “With cooperation from residents we are hopeful that the upgrade can be performed without interruption to supply.”

    Mr Saldumbide said Giru residents would receive a letter and Townsville Water also had placed a notice board in Giru advising of the work.

    The rejuvenation of the Home Hill Comfort Stop continues with painting being done and roofs being replaced.

    Burdekin Shire Council Operations Manager Wayne Saldumbide said painting of the exterior and interior of the Comfort Stop had begun this week.

    “Next week work will begin on replacing the roof of the male toilet and shower block,” he said.

    “Due to privacy and workplace health and safety issues the male facilities will be closed for use from May 28 through to May 31while the roof work is being done.

    “Men will be able to use the unisex all-accessible facilities in the women’s block during this time. This facility contains both a shower and a toilet.

    “Other toilets available for use by visitors are located at Arch Dunn Park, on the corner of Tenth Avenue and Tenth Street, Home Hill.”

    Mr Saldumbide said council officers also had installed five new permanent picnic sets along Railway Avenue for use by visitors.

    Majority of dog owners abiding by State laws

    Posted Monday, 20th May 2013 in Media Releases

    The Burdekin Shire Council’s animal inspection program is showing that the majority of the dog and cat owners are abiding by the State Government legislation.

    Environmental Health Manager Tracy Jensen said that since the program started on April 10, Council officers had inspected 846 premises.

    “So far these officers have found 64 unregistered dogs and 31 unregistered cats, so the majority of residents are doing the right thing and abiding by the State’s Animal Management (Cats and Dogs) Act 2008,” she said.

    “In July 2010 the State Government brought in the requirement that all cat and dog owners in urban and rural areas in the Burdekin Shire had to register their pets.

    Ms Jensen said council officers had issued 157 fines relating to dogs since April 10.

    “Not all of these fines are from the inspection program and it is pleasing to see only a minority were not registering their pets,” she said.

    “It is easier for our officers to find the owners of dogs that are found wandering the streets if the animal is registered and wearing the registration tag, as well as microchipped.”

    Ms Jensen said prior to the program Council had approximately 4400 animals registered.

    “However since the program began, there have been more than 500 registrations,” she said.

    Ms Jensen said it also was important that pet owners ensured there was adequate fencing to keep their pet enclosed.

    “A lot of people are starting to install electric containment fences and under the local law these are not considered adequate to keep dogs inside their yard,” she said.

    “We have had a few instances where the batteries have failed or the dog has really wanted to get out and the electric shock failed to deter the animal.

    “Residents need to ensure their fencing is adequate for the size of their dog.”

    Council’s Chief  Executive Officer Ken Holt said Council was halfway through the inspection program.

    “Our Customer Service Centre gets more calls about dogs than potholes or anything else,” he said.

    “The silent majority of dog owners are doing the right thing and they are ringing here wanting us to do more about the dogs not being properly managed.”

    Council will be undertaking planned air scouring work on the 250mm water main servicing the Rossiters Hill and Old Clare Road areas on Thursday 23rd May, 2013 between the hours of 9.00 am and 3.00 pm.

     These works will result in a loss of normal water pressure for up to six hours to residents in the aforementioned areas.

     Residents in the affected areas may experience discoloured water for a period of up to two days once the water main is returned to service.  A flushing programme will be carried out to minimise instances of discoloured water.  You may wish to postpone washing of clothes etc., during that time.

     Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks residents in anticipation of their patience during the cleaning period.
