Standpipes have long been an important resource for our region, providing access to water where it is otherwise scarce.
GWMWater now operates two types of standpipes; metered hydrants and electronic standpipes.
We have 23 electronic standpipes across our region that provide access to water for carting purposes.
Standpipes are also accessible to the CFA with keys, as well as hydrants.

GWMWater's Water Carting Policy
Electronic standpipe locations
Non-potable water is not disinfected and there is no protection against bacteria that may contaminate the water. This means that the water is not fit for such things as drinking, food preparation, ice making, cleaning of teeth or any other human consumptive purposes.
