PICOLA WATER SCHEME OPTIONS CONSIDERED FOR DAM AND PUMP
In Nathalia interests a committee compared a windmill driven 10 foot pump system to a 2 inch high efficiency centrifugal pump for filling two tanks totaling 3000 gallons. The windmill could run 12 hours daily but water access would be sporadic, while the engine and pump would require about 13 hours work for full supply. Costs estimated at £141 for the windmill option and £215 for engine driven, total including reticulation around £900 and £975 respectively. Members favored the engine scheme due to reliability. The group also discussed delaying action on river crossing and other maintenance tasks.
