Raw Water Irrigation Infrastructure
- GA50367-V1 - Extension of time (16-Jun-2021 )
The project will upgrade the water supply infrastructure in Normanton town, including installation of a raw water irrigation line to key businesses and public areas to reduce the operational costs of the water treatment plant and provide a cost-effective solution ensuring key areas remain irrigated throughout the dry season. Water for irrigation is currently sourced from the water treatment plant and has been identified through recent data collection to consume up to 20% of the total treated water within the Shire. The operational costs of the water treatment plant can be reduced significantly by completion of this project. By providing a cost-effective solution to allow key areas to irrigate throughout the dry season, it will aim to improve the overall aesthetics of the town and increase tourism within the Shire.
