Emergency pumping saves Grenfell water supply through Brownhill dam
In a dry year Grenfell faced critical water shortages as the Pipestone basin runoff hit a historic low. Emergency pumping, supervised by W R Pope, moved water from the Pipestone valley through a mile long pipe to Brownhill dam, delivering 15 million gallons to raise the dam level by about five feet and carry Grenfell through winter. Cecil Johnstone and Fernie Savage praised the response and noted taxpayers funded a quarter million dollars for the system. Engineers expect a three year supply once the dam fills, reducing the risk of future crises.
