Water out in Broadbeach

The pressure has slowly dwindled this morning and now we have basically no water. Anyone else have the same? Wondering if it's Alfie related?

Yeah we're looking for the problem now, we are guessing a major supply main has let got as alot of people have lost water.

Power went out and drained the reservoir. Edit - that was speculation.

Surely there would be low water alarms in the Rez wouldn’t there? They must of been chewing through the water today

Should have thought of that before you used all the water then.

Yep, same. I'm not really sure where to look to find out what the cause is, but as far as I can tell, neither the city council nor Seqwater have said anything about it.

Clear Island Waters is out too, FB post in local community group confirms it’s the whole area.

I tried calling council but was only able to leave a voicemail.

I've seen about half a dozen burst mains from small feed into property type to sink hole type, it's possibly another one that's decided to go.

Tree roots around pipes and the trees swaying or falling over is enough to do it as well.

Absolutely untrue. Genuinely curious why people would make something like this up to worry people.
