Macleay Island residents' water will be turned off for twelve hours overnight due to a pipeline leak.  

Works for a permanent solution are underway; however, temporarily, water is being redirected with the use of a temporary pipeline to carry water to the island.

SEQWater asks residents to expect another water supply shutdown later in the month and to prepare by bottling up water for drinking and to fill up bathtubs to use for flushing toilets.
