Gloucester Shire Council eyes loan for water supply upgrade
Gloucester Shire Council considers a loan of about £21,500 to add a new reservoir and firing main to the existing storage tower. The Department of Public Works suggests a 45 year repayment at 4 percent to 4.9 percent, yielding roughly £4,000 annual cost, £2,041 from domestic charges, and warning the scheme must stay under £2 10s a year to avoid government resistance. Council President Dr Channon notes urgent need for the reservoir for a new hospital and school in the southern town area.
