Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program

Under the Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program, we are currently working on two projects.

Urban Channel Pipeline Project

We are looking forward to kicking off the Urban Channel Pipeline (UCP) Project this year, which will provide a range of benefits to customers, and the communities of Griffith and Leeton.

The project is being undertaken in stages over the next two years.

For customers in areas where works are planned, an engagement officer will be in contact to discuss the works and connection options.

Feasibility Studies

New feasibility studies, funded under the Australian Government’s Resilient Rivers Water Infrastructure Program and delivered in partnership with the NSW Government, include the Mid-Murrumbidgee River Optimisation study.

This study will evaluate both the benefits and the costs to design and implement off-river surge capacity at 4 sites on either side of the Murrumbidgee River.

Other Projects

Automation Works

Customers will experience the benefits of a fully automated system this season, with the final touches being put on the small number of remaining outlet upgrades.

To ensure that there are minimal supply interruptions we have been using shields, like in the above photo. If you are in an area where these works are occurring, there is no need for you to do anything. We will be in touch. 

Roach’s Reservoir operational

The 5,000 ML Roach’s Reservoir is now operational, with the testing of the pumps at the inlet structure complete.

Strategically located surge reservoirs, like Roach’s, in conjunction with the move to full automation will enable us to further improve our water delivery flexibility for irrigators, who are requesting higher flow rates, the ability to start and close at short notice and 24-hour access to these services.

Residential Connections Program

Our Residential Connections supply product is for customers with water entitlements who require water to be used on an area up to 1 Ha.

We have a support package available to help existing customers who choose to transition to a Residential Connection. Our Customer Engagement Officers are in the process of contacting eligible customers.
