Giru water supply update
WORK HAS commenced on a $500,000 pump renewal at the Giru Water Treatment Plant, enhancing water security for Giru and Cungulla.
Works are coordinated by Townsville City Council with contractor Civilplus Constructions replacing the two pumps which supply raw water to the Giru Water Treatment Plant.
Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn Mclaughlin said the pump renewal would provide peace of mind for residents.
“I want to thank Townsville City Council for recognising the importance of water infrastructure upgrades across their network, and thank Giru residents for their patience as pump renewals are completed,” Cr Mclaughlin said.
Residents are being asked to temporarily limit their water consumption while the works are completed.
Works are expected to be weather permitting.
