Design and Construction of Water and Waste Water Pipeline

⁠⁠⁠17/081 - The project will supply untreated dam water from the Connolly Dam pipe line at Smelter Road through the Morgan Park complex to the Industrial Estate at Kenilworth Street. The untreated dam water may be used for irrigation, animal/equipment/vehicle wash down, toilets and dust suppression. The industrial estate may utilise the untreated water for vehicle wash-down, toilets and dust suppression.

Morgan Park is located south of Warwick with an approximate extent of 600 hectares used for sporting and recreational purposes. Irrigation water has become one of the major requirements to maintain the fields within acceptable standards. Drag Racing, Horse Trails, Polocrosse, Dirt Bike, Sporting Car club are the users of this service. The Polocrosse Club and the Dirt Bike Club are the two major users. It is understood that the Polocrosse Club uses most of the water to irrigate approximately 8.5Ha of playing fields, and the Dirt Bike Club uses the water for dust suppression before, during and after events.

Council has been funded money by the State Government to complete these projects, on the basis that they are delivered by the contracted timeframe.
