RANKIN SPRINGS POTABLE WATER SUPPLY

10kms 110mm Poly Rising Mains and associated infrastructure

Carrathool Shire Council has secured funding for a Potable Water Reticulation System for the village of Rankin Springs. The project consisted of survey, site investigations, design, construction, testing and commissioning of reticulation mains capable of supplying potable water with required pressure and flow at all times throughout the village. Rankin Springs was currently supplied with stock and domestic raw water via a bore that has been found to have chemicals above the accepted ADWG. The project was undertaken through funding made available through Restart NSW Water Security for regions program.
