The reports established that water provided for human use across all townships assessed was excellent, resulting in A grades being awarded.

“These are one of the first reports in Australia to use grades for drinking water, to extend community understanding of the provision of tap water for human consumption by Councils.”
The first release focuses on July 2010 to June 2012 for Rockhampton and Mount Morgan; and July 2011 to June 2012 for Blackwater, Anakie, Bluff, Capella, Comet, Emerald, Rolleston, Sapphire and Springsure.
Councillor Greg Belz, Chair of Rockhampton Regional Council’s Water Committee said Council welcomed Fitzroy Partnership for River Health’s new drinking water reporting initiative.
“The excellent grading results received and endorsed by the independent panel reflect the quality processes in place by Fitzroy River Water for water treatment in the Rockhampton Region for the benefit of our local residents,” Councillor Belz said.
