Renewal of ageing watermains across the Bega Valley.
Project type:
Water and Sewer
Budget:
$1.75 million per year
Funded by:
Council Sewer and Water fund
Project schedule:
In progress
Proposed completion date:
31 January 2027
Project Overview
Areas of the Bega Valley have ageing watermains that can affect the reliable supply of clean drinking water. This project aims to renew water mains to reduce long-term risks and ensure a secure, high-quality, and reliable water supply for the Bega Valley.
Ageing watermains in the Bega township, particularly those installed before 1960, have been identified as high risk and are a priority for renewal.
Council plans to replace approximately four kilometres of these older mains as part of a broader renewal program. The project will also address undersized and problematic watermains across the wider Bega Valley region.
Purpose
The aim of the project is to renew and upgrade ageing water mains, particularly those installed before 1960, with works extending beyond the Bega township to water infrastructure across the Bega Valley.
Council is responsible for the delivery of safe, secure, efficient, sustainable and affordable water to customers in the Bega Valley in accordance with the NSW Local Government Act 1993 and NSW Water Management Act 2000.
Funding
Funding for the project is sourced from Council’s Sewer and Water fund at $1.75 million per year.
C.1 Deliver and support integrated water management.
C.2 Ensure land use planning and resource use supports sustainable growth whilst protecting the quality of the natural environment and our rural landscapes.
The proposed new watermains renewal/upgrade relates to the following actions and/or activities contained within Council’s Delivery Program 2022-25 and Operational Plan 2024-25 respectively:
DP C.1.1 Operate a contemporary local water utility that enables sustainable development, supports social wellbeing, and protects the environment.
OP C.1.1.2 Operate and maintain water supply and sewage network systems to meet health and environmental regulatory requirements and level of service objectives.
