Oakey water supplies

Oakey's water supply basically consists of two water supply schemes. The first scheme, 'Central', supplies communities including Oakey, Jondaryan and Gowrie Mountain. The second scheme, 'Eastern', services Cotswold Hills, Torrington, Glenvale and Westbrook.

Oakey provides water services to a population of around 10,000 through almost 4000 connections. Oakey and Jondaryan are supplied chiefly by the Oakey RO (Reverse Osmosis) supplemented by the Toowoomba bulk water supply.

From 11 December 2010, permanent conservation measures water restrictions with a target of 200 litres of water per person per day were introduced for all residences and businesses connected to the Toowoomba bulk water supply and to the town water supplies within the Oakey area.
