We’re planning for the future and the expected growth in Traralgon, Morwell and surrounding towns, strengthening the water supply to the towns with a series of major infrastructure projects.
To meet the water supply needs of Glengarry, Toogabbie, Cowwarr and Rosedale we’re connecting them to the Traralgon water supply.
With more towns relying on the Traralgon water supply, we need additional water storages to meet the increased demand.
We’re constructing a 50 megalitre treated water storage at our Clarkes Road site to secure the water supply for these towns into the future.
The additional storage will take pressure off the Traralgon water treatment plant which can struggle to meet demand in the peak of summer.
The new basin is one of the big infrastructure upgrades to secure the water supply for , Traralgon, Tyers, Glengarry, Toongabbie, Cowwarr and Rosedale .
