The Scoping Study will investigate the construction of a new bulk water supply pipeline from Jugiong to Boorowa.
The state government is set to provide up to $265,000 for 50 per cent funding of the estimated cost of $530,000 for this important project.
Hilltops Mayor, Councillor Brian Ingram, said the pipeline is the number one infrastructure priority for Hilltops Council.
“I look forward to completing the business case so that we can move forward with delivery for the community,” Mayor Ingram said.
“Thank you to Pru Goward MP for her help in securing the support of the State Government in providing much needed funding.”
Member for Goulburn, Pru Goward MP and Liberal candidate for Goulburn, Wendy Tuckerman said the funding and subsequent study will assist Boorowa’s infrastructure into the future.
“This funding reiterates the State Government’s understanding of how vital a decent supply of good quality water is to Boorowa families and how it will help the town to grow,” Ms Goward said.
“This funding is part of the NSW Government Safe and Secure Water Program to ensure regional communities have the right infrastructure into the future,” Ms Tuckerman said.
The Safe and Secure Water Program enables local water utilises to construct modern infrastructure to provide safe, secure and reliable water and sewerage services for their communities and addresses key risks to regional water safety and security in NSW.
