New contract saves on Wivenhoe electricity costs
Toowoomba Regional Council has negotiated a new contract for Wivenhoe Pump Station that could equate to a more than 30 per cent reduction in the cost of electricity with no change to service levels.
TRC Water and Waste Chair Cr Rebecca Vonhoff said the reduction equates to a cost-saving to Council of approximately $71,000 per month.
We move it from the East up from Wivenhoe, Cressbrook and Perseverance; and from the north from Cooby; and then we discharge it to the West into what eventually becomes the Murray Darling, or alternately we draw it up from bores.
“Council will continue working with both the State and Federal Governments and all other interested parties to build on our long-term water security planning.”
The pipeline is part of Council’s water storage plan, with Wivenhoe Dam acting as a fourth dam to supplement the Toowoomba Bulk Water Supply.
