Ongoing drought is pushing Stanthorpe families to the wire, with the town just weeks away from running out of water.
Laundromat owner Chris Reedy said families can hardly afford to wash their clothes, and he’s been helping out with some free loads where he can.
Motel owner Michael Jensen said he fears for the community, especially farmers and the elderly, if water has to be trucked in and cause water costs to skyrocket.
