Question of water storage discussed by Numurkah Chamber
The Numurkah Chamber of Commerce met at Shamrock Hotel with President J Bitcen presiding. Discussion centered on water storage options for Numurkah, including a storage at the head of the Broken River and potential contributions from Yarrawonga irrigation. Engineers noted current supply limits and costs, with six months’ storage estimated at £18,000, and concluded a local storage is economically impractical without broader regional benefits.
