The TasWater Alliance, a partnership between TasWater, CPB Contractors, UGL and WSP Australia, is progressing with the delivery of water infrastructure upgrades across Tasmania. This includes the Undersized Network Reservoirs project in Launceston, part of the State’s Tamar Estuary River Health Action Plan.
Located north of Launceston, the project focuses on modernising the Hillwood and Windermere reservoirs, which are crucial for supplying drinking water to communities east of the Tamar Valley.
By integrating two new 350 kilolitres (KL) storage tanks with existing infrastructure, the project will significantly enhance the region's water storage capacity. This additional storage is essential to support sustainable growth and meet future water demands as the population expands.
The new tanks also provide operational redundancy, allowing for planned maintenance of existing infrastructure without disrupting residents' water supply.
CPB Contractors and UGL, both members of the CIMIC Group, are utilising their extensive experience in water infrastructure project delivery to deliver a raft of works and upgrades across Tasmania as part of the TasWater Alliance.
