Saying goodbye to 100 year old infrastructure

It's had a good run, but we're ready to say goodbye to the current raw water delivery line, which has been serving the Stratford water supply for over 100 years!

Check out the old grit tank design from 1922:

The new Raw Water Delivery Line involves building a pumping station above the existing water intake, which will take water up to a junction box in the paddock above, where it will then enter a new large, 450mm heavy-duty plastic pipe.

From that high point, the water will flow naturally downhill using gravity, traveling directly into the new filtration tank designed to remove sand and grit before the water continues through the treatment process.

This is a drawing of the new pump station design:
