The first issued iBUTTON Access Key set per application will incur a $54.30 refundable deposit. Additional iBUTTON Access Key sets incur an additional refundable deposit of $54.30 per key set. The deposit/s will be refunded upon return of the iBUTTON key set/s to Council.
Lost or stolen iBUTTON access key sets
A replacement fee of $39.35 will be charged for damaged, lost or stolen iBUTTON Access Key sets. Water Carters shall report lost or stolen iBUTTON Access Keys to Albury City Council immediately on (02) 6023 8111 as your account will need to be disabled.

Portable standpipes
Where AlburyCity issues approval to a water carter permitting water to be extracted via fire hydrants, only portable metered standpipes issued by Albury City Council can be used. The approved portable metered standpipes are permitted to be used in the hydrant locations nominated by Council only. Use of any other hydrant location or use of a standpipe not issued by Council is a breach of the conditions of approval to extract water from Council’s water mains. Persons found in breach of the approval may have their approval to use portable standpipes revoked and/or be subject to prosecution.
NSW Fire and Rescue and NSW Rural Fire Service for fire fighting purposes are exempt from this requirement.
Pedestrian and cyclist safety
Water Carters are required to comply with the Work Health Safety Act and Work Health Safety Regulation, including completion of a risk assessment prior to filling from bulk water filling stations. Filling is to be undertaken in a manner to minimise obstruction of the footpath and take all safety precautions including the positioning of safety cones to prevent the risk of tripping hazards or injury to pedestrians and cyclists.
Vandalism and cabinet security
We have security cameras present and recording at each bulk water filling station location. However, to minimise the interruption to bulk water carters it is important that all damage as a result of vandalism or unauthorised use at the bulk water filling stations is immediately reported to us on 02 6023 8111.
