February 19, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toowoomba Regional Council is weighing up the possibility of taking water from the Toowoomba Pipeline for the first time.<\/p>\n

The $187 million pipeline connects Wivenhoe Dam to\u00a0Cressbrook Dam and has the capacity of delivering\u00a027 megalitres of raw water a day.<\/p>\n

But it has never been used.<\/p>\n

It was proposed in 2006 by the Toowoomba Water Supply Task Force to shore up Toowoomba’s future water security.<\/p>\n

The 38km pipeline was fast-tracked by the State Government a decade ago during drought when there were fears Toowoomba could run out of water.<\/p>\n

Construction began in January 2009 and the first pipe was laid in March 2009.<\/p>\n

The project was completed in January 2010.<\/p>\n

It has been described as the largest and most important\u00a0single infrastructure project ever undertaken by the TRC.<\/p>\n

Cressbrook Dam is one of the four dams that supply the Toowoomba region.<\/p>\n

According to the TRC website, once its capacity\u00a0falls below 40 per cent Council can start using water from Wivenhoe Dam.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
