The only reason that
Ilfracombe has any water is that 2x council employees how live in town , in their own time and expense [ fuel - own vehicle and trailer ] are delivering water to households and to businesses , the
Longreach regional council of which
Ilfracombe comes under is currently trying to decide wether to reimburse the expenses incurred to date and what sort of solution can be found for the town as the supply is down to less than 3 weeks availability , one option being touted is a 'spare' water tanker being hired from the
Barcaldine regional council to supply water until
Longreach area receives some decent rain.
