Improved Reticulation Plan for Benalla West
The engineer reported on upgrading Benalla West reticulation to ensure reliable supply during peak demand. Commissioners considered extending the 10-inch mains from Cecil Street and replacing several pipelines with larger 6 and 4 inch lines along Bridge Street Margaret Street and Duna Street to improve capacity and reduce losses. The estimated cost of £2908 was deemed lower than other town schemes, and the plan was adopted with specified pipe extensions and replacements.
