The recently refurbished Allora Reservoir went online again last Wednesday, 8 December.
The reservoir has been offline since 2018 and has undergone a $383k upgrade as part of the Southern Downs Regional Council’s commitment to maintaining water infrastructure.
Upgrades included a new roof, an access platform and ladder, relining of the internal walls, and improved safety features.
The fully-funded council project commenced in May 2021 and was completed in September 2021.
A council spokesperson said that once the reservoir is back online, residents may experience some pressure fluctuations and/or discoloured water.
However, the spokesperson said this will disappear after the water has run through the tap for a short while.
Southern Downs Regional Council Mayor Vic Pennisi said this upgrade is to ensure extra water security for the community.
Residents can contact council on 1300 697 372 if they experience ongoing issues.
