Current reporting comment

The Shire has trialled the pushtaps on the Shire public facilities. During this period we have noted the following: the taps are 4 times the amount compared to a normal tap, we are only getting about 4-6 months of use before it requires repair. To repair the taps we need to engage a plumber as we can't complete the works inhouse and most of the time after repairs it still requires replacement in a couple of months. It is cost prohibitive to continue this on the Shire's maintenance program.
