1.1 WATER New initiatives in 2021 / 22
New or upgraded assets How we are reducing operational risks in 2021 / 22
Implementation of SCADA ( Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition ) system to dosing systems
Backup pump for water infrastructure at Campbell Park Roma
Full benefits of SCADA will be realised through automatic notification of issues ( including on weekends ).
This will provide a backup for water from the reservoir to adjacent consumers , providing certainty of supply in the event of the pump failure .
Muckadilla water supply fire flow capacity
Upgrade of infrastructure while renewal works are underway
Fire flow capacity will be increased by upgrading the 50mm diameter pipework to 100mm diameter .
6 of the renewal projects will incorporate an increase in the capacity of the mains from 100mm to 150mm . Works are planned for Roma , Yuleba , Injune , Mitchell and Surat .
Pipeline projects should funding become available ( Currently unfunded )
Projects identified for potential external funding applications ( as opportunities arise during the year ) Install fill points at Amby and Mungallala
If the Bores were to fail , then the reservoirs could be filled with a tanker ( and therefore ensure continuity of water supply ) without having to alter the pipework .
There has previously been a failure at Mungallala and once the project is funded / completed it will provide a permanent solution if the same was to happen again .
Main connection from Reid St to Powell St Roma
Second reservoir for Wallumbilla
Generator for Bore 15 Roma
This will provide a link from the north to the central area , feeding more water from Bore 19 which is a strong bore ( one of the two with the greatest capacity ). This will take additional pressure off the tower improving pressure for the rest of town . ( Bore 19 services the area north of Miscamble Street ).
The project will provide a back-up for the township of Wallumbilla . ( In the event of reservoir failure , water supply will be able to be maintained ).
Bore 15 is a critical supply for east of Bungil Creek - if it fails , there is little to no pressure ( e . g . Saleyards , Timbury Hills , Industrial Estate ). The generator will enable continuity of supply in the event of power outage .
Generator for Bore 20 Roma
Bore 2 reservoir & booster – Corfe Road Roma
Bore 20 is a critical supply for the central and southern part of town ( tower and high pressure zone ). Bore 20 services the area south of Miscamble Street .
This will improve the pressure as well as consistency ( It will retain pressure even though the reservoir is full . Bore 2 will continue to operate as long as there is a pressure demand , rather than switching off when the reservoir is full ).
Jackson security fence
There is currently a cage around the bore and treatment site . A fence will further reduce the risk of tampering with supply .
