Water supply & dams - Dams & bores - Regional

Individual communities located in the service areas of Clifton, Pittsworth, Millmerran, Greenmount, and Yarraman in the Goombungee service area have water supply sources separate from the Toowoomba bulk supply. These water supply schemes source water from mostly underground water serviced by bores. Other sources include small dams and weirs. All town water is treated and meets the Australian drinking water standard.
