Gippsland Water secures $4.78M Federal funding for Traralgon Tyers pipeline boosting regional water security
Gippsland Water received $4.78M federal funding for a 4.3km pipeline, securing water supply for several towns and improving infrastructure resilience against climate change impacts.
Gippsland Water has secured $4.78M from the federal government's National Water Grid Fund towards the Traralgon Tyers interconnect project. The 4.3km pipeline will help to secure water availability for customers in Glengarry, Toongabbie, Cowwarr and Rosedale. The townships will be connected to Traralgon's water network to enable a more reliable and efficient delivery of service.
The Traralgon Tyers Interconnect will run underground and connect at Dranes Road and Traralgon- Maffra Road in Traralgon
Pipeline strengthens resilience
Managing director Sarah Cumming said the pipeline would strengthen the region's infrastructure to help combat climate change, extreme weather events and a growing population. "We're taking tangible steps to strengthen our infrastructure now to guarantee the water supply network is resilient to the changing climate and ensure service continuity well into the future. The interconnect will future proof the supply capacity and enable delivery for a growing population."
Ms Cumming said the funding contribution from the Federal Government would cover around half of the project cost and assist in delivering the project without adding additional pressure on customer bills. "This funding boost will assist us to deliver the project without our customers footing the whole bill. This will improve overall network efficiency, reduce long-term costs and help us keep downward pressure on customer bills." This National Water Grid project is funded by the Australian Government and delivered in partnership with Gippsland Water.
