Water Supply Upgrades for Canberra Capital Area

The Corin Dam Rendora gravity main and Siromlo treatment works form major upgrades for Canberra. Conn Dam will hold 16 000 million gallons, vastly expanding capacity near Bendora and Kangaroo Creek. A new 1241 ib pipeline 60 inches diameter will connect Bendora Dam to Cotter mains, boosting gravity delivery to 50 million gallons daily. Stromlo treatment works will improve water quality before distribution, with further renovations at Cotter pumping station and additional storage reservoirs planned by the National Capital Development Commission.
