For those who are struggling with having enough water during drought conditions, here are maps(PDF, 401KB) showing the locations of taps where water containers can be filled. Council prefers that the taps shown on the maps are the only taps that should be used to fill water containers.

Other taps are not suitable for a variety of reasons. Please remember to take only what water is really needed. Using too much will reduce water pressure across Noosa Shire. Please fill up using domestic-size containers only (up to 1000L).

Hinterland:

Cooroy RV site:

Tap at the entry that can fill up containers in addition to the paid Unity Water sites

There are four water fill stations for community members to access and purchase potable drinking water at any time, including 17 Mary Road,Cooroy and Zealey Road Nambour (near number 49). Visit Unitywater for costs, other locations and conditions for access.
