Improvements for the Coonabarabran Water Treatment Plant completed

Filter replacement works at the Coonabarabran Water Treatment Plant have now been completed to ensure ongoing high-quality water supply.  

“Following on from a comprehensive filter control upgrade undertaken last financial year at the Coonabarabran Water Treatment Plant, the replacement of the filter material in both filters have now been completed, along with other infrastructure repairs,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council Mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan. “These replacement works are set to sustain and secure high-quality water production for the township of Coonabarabran.”

“While the existing filter materials were still producing high quality water they were nearing their end of life phase, prompting these staggered replacement works.” 

The replacement of the filter materials will give the Coonabarabran Water Treatment Plant a greater capacity to handle the kind of raw water seen during high rainfall events which may affect the quality of the water sourced from the dam and weirs.  

“This project is one of many that Warrumbungle Water is undertaking in its ongoing commitment to improving water supplies across the local government area as part of Council’s Drinking Water Management System Improvement Plan,” said Cr Doolan 

“It’s great to see theses sort of water projects being completed to ensure increased water security in the area,” Cr Doolan concluded.
