Readings and issuing of account

Failure to provide a reading for a metered standpipe may result in an additional fee. For more information, please download the Approval for supply of potable water through a metered standpipe application (PDF 226 KB).

Water usage charge

Water usage is charged at $6.10 per kilolitre (1,000 litres) of water supplied. This charge is made up of two parts:

  • the State Government bulk water charge is $3.44 per kilolitre. This is set and charged by the State Government for the supply of water to Logan City.

How to use an authorised hydrant fill point

  1. The hydrant has two lugs facing opposite directions.
  2. Lift the lid and clean any dirt from around the lugs and mushroom hydrant outlet.
  3. The hydrant outlet is now ready.
  4. Before attaching the standpipe to the hydrant, wind the spindle up (anti-clockwise) as far as you can. Check that the base nut sealing washer is fitted, and screw the base nut lugs right down (clockwise). You are now ready to attach the standpipe to the hydrant.
  5. Place the standpipe base nut and lugs down onto the hydrant. Engage the standpipe lugs under the hydrant lugs, then, holding the standpipe by both handles, turn the standpipe (clockwise) until firmly fastened. Do not over tighten. Do not use any extension pipes on the standpipe handles. Do not use other tools to attach or remove the standpipe.
  6. If required, attach equipment to the standpipe before turning it on.
  7. Turn the spindle clockwise until water starts to flow. Do not wind the spindle all the way down as this could result in the standpipe not shutting down properly. About 30mm down provides maximum flow.
  8. When finished, turn the spindle (anti-clockwise) until the water flow stops. If any devices are attached to the standpipe outlet, release the pressure first before removing the standpipe.
  9. Turn the entire standpipe (anti-clockwise) until the lugs become loose and the standpipe can be lifted out.
  10. Make sure to put the hydrant lid back on before you leave.
