MID-WESTERN REGIONAL COUNCIL
MUDGEE ULAN RD TRUNK MAIN (STAGE 2)

1.8kms of 200mm DICL Trunk Mains and associated infrastructure

Mid-Western Regional Council required a Design and Construct Potable water pipeline to connect to the existing Stage 1 Ulan Rd Trunk main in Mudgee. The water main will commence in Short St Mudgee and connect to the existing stage 1section which heads out the Ulan Rd. Stage 2 section would continue northerly along Court St taking a 90 degree turn into Short St then crossing the Castlereagh Highway and continue to Denison St and reconnect to the existing 500mm DICL reticulation system. This project is to ensure council can adequately maintain water services to the area that meet Australian Standards for volume and pressure and the Australian Drinking Guidelines for quality.
