Gala fashion parade compere Alicia �� Water meters. Coming to a street near you soon. Water meter installations are underway in Glenorchy. Beginning in October, and continuing throughout November, Southern Water personnel and contractors will install a water meter in unmetered properties in the following areas: Austins Ferry, Berriedale, Chigwell, Claremont, Glenorchy, Goodwood, Granton, Montrose, Rosetta and West Moonah. This won’t take long. Just a few hours, possibly spread over a day. During that time, the water will be switched off to your property for between 30 minutes and up to a maximum of two hours. Look in your mail box for information about when exactly we’ll be in your neighbourhood, or visit www.southernwatertas.com.au If you have any questions, or in the unlikely event we don’t contact you, please call us on 13MYWATER (13 6992). Water meters will allow everyone to switch to a fairer pricing model from July 2012. So although installation won’t take long, the benefi ts will be felt for years. www.southernwatertas.com.au This project is partially funded by Southern Water and the Australian Government’s Water for the Future initiative through the National Water Security Plan for Cities and Towns Program. Cordinglay, one of the young mothers completing the training course, said the program had not only given mothers a taste of working in a real retail environment, but assisted with dressing for success, public speaking and event management.
