Information is never more critical than during a natural disaster – and we’ve got another one on our hands with Tropical Cyclone Kirrily impacting north Queensland. While our crews are out in the field assessing damage and preparing for the restoration effort, our communications and stakeholder teams are busy keeping customers informed and sharing essential safety messages. We’re keeping customers updated through our usual channels, including traditional media and our Ergon Energy Network Facebook page, but we now have a NEW channel with an online Live News Feed bringing information and updates to our customers and communities as it comes to hand: https://lnkd.in/g2cgnr7u It also provides a valuable tool for those customers we know are not on social media, but want to get their information directly from the source through a trusted channel. We support that! So please check it out and share it with anyone you know who may live in the impacted areas in the north of our state. #cyclone #disasteresponse #tckirrily #livenews #updates #communications

National Water Week (16 - 22nd October) is an opportunity to remind people about how water is a precious resource to be used wisely. But it is also a chance to raise awareness about the challenges faced by communities who are at risk of the devastating impacts due to too much water.  Many areas are witnessing floods at an unprecedented scale and frequency, putting communities and infrastructure at risk. The cost of frequent flood damage repair, both economically and emotionally, is immense. As a result, there's a growing conversation around community-led relocation in Australia, that Water Technology are involved in. Rather than imposing top-down decisions, community-led strategies prioritise the voices, histories, and futures of those directly affected. The aim? To ensure that any relocation is not just about moving buildings, but about preserving the heart, soul, and well-being of the community. #nationalwaterweek #unitedbywater #communityledrelocation #floodrisk #communitywellbeing We invite you to follow the Water Technology Pty Ltd Linked In page directly (https://lnkd.in/gSE_RUSw)

We believe it's a basic human right to have access to safe, affordable drinking water. But the reality is that over 22 million people in the U.S. today are still getting their drinking water through toxic lead pipes. Making sure we have a sustainable, robust water infrastructure is one step toward safe, reliable drinking water. Learn more about #ImagineADayWithoutWater below ⬇️
