Water is at the heart of our daily lives and a good water supply is of paramount importance here in tropical Queensland, especially as we move into dry months of October and November.
No-one knows this more, than the friendly team at WhitPro, the Garden Maintenance and Landscaping Specialists who deal with water for a living.
Whether supplying or installing a range of efficient irrigation systems, keeping your landscaped gardens well-watered and maintained, or refilling your water tanks, these guys know how to work and manage water.
Offering one of the largest water delivery trucks in the region, WhitPro can deliver up to 15,000 litres of water to easy access properties or 10,000 litres to any property.
Always on-hand to help, WhitPro regularly receives calls when a water tank is out of juice and always do their best to deliver water as soon as possible, to get you household running normally again.
Resident truck driver and machine operator, Josh Randell, says he loves getting a water supply operating again.
“Sometimes we get a call out from people who didn’t realise they’d let the water run out,” he said.
“The kids are getting home from school and they’re desperate – we’re often able to get over there within a couple of hours and get their water flowing again.
“It’s a good feeling and people are always really appreciative.”
Josh is originally from Adelaide and moved to the region with his partner this year.
He has a lot of experience driving trucks and spent some time driving triple road trains through the dessert for three months at a time.
Prior to this he spent 16 years making wine in McLaren Vale in South Australia.
He started in the cellar at just 17 and progressed to overseeing every stage of production from grapes through to fermenting and filtering.
Now using his skills to assist with a different kind of hydrating liquid, Josh loves delivering water and working with other important truck jobs here in the Whitsundays.
The diversity of his everyday duties always keeps him motivated – whether he is driving trucks to pick up rock from the quarry or out in the community building a retainer wall with the bob cat – he always enjoys a challenge.
If you see Josh out and about, make sure you say hi.
