Picola Water Supply Scheme Delayed By Finance Woes
At a Picola Water Trust meeting it was clear residents cannot expect a reticulated supply within at least two years. Finances hinder progress as the 6d in the pound rate cannot cover costs, while a proposed earthen basin dam would require substantial Council subsidies. The trust voted to defer a decision for one month and arrange talks with Picola residents to explain options.
