Promising results from preliminary bore testing

While water security discussions seem to have eased, councillors remained engaged with the updates at last week’s council meeting.

The director of infrastructure delivery reported that supply was remaining stable, with the water restrictions transitioning to Level 3.

It was also reported that testing of the proposed new bore at the saleyards had been completed, with preliminary results looking positive.

Following the final report, the bore will be connected to the main supply, enhancing the town’s long-term water security.

Questions were raised about the portable treatment plant’s location, with the director explaining that the shortlisted tenders will have included the best location for the plant within their submission. It was highlighted by Cr. Dickinson that the level of submissions received during the EOI period was promising.
