Yowah Water Security Project
- Council: Paroo Shire Council
- Fund: Remote and Indigenous Communities Fund
- Category: Water/Sewerage/Waste Infrastructure
- Round: 3
Replacing Yowah’s faulty century-old bore will ensure adequate water supply and pressure to address current and future domestic, industry and agricultural needs, and mean water won’t need to be trucked in from Cunnamulla.
The project will deliver a new 440-metre bore, and install a new water main, RADTEL telemetry system and monitoring technology.
