Have Your Say on the Draft H250 Plan
DATE PUBLISHED: 17/04/2008
TOPIC: Community
The draft H250 Plan outlines how Hunter Water proposes to meet the water supply needs of the Lower Hunter in a sustainable way over the next 50 years. The draft Plan replaces the Integrated Water Resource Plan released in 2003.
In November 2006 the State Government announced a $342 million plan to secure the water future for the Lower Hunter and the Central Coast regions. This plan included the proposed Tillegra Dam, planned for the upper reaches of the Williams River, along with the Kooragang Industrial Water Scheme (a major recycling project) and increased pumping capacity from the Williams River during flood flows.
Given there is a defined path forward for supply and recycling options for the Lower Hunter, the focus of the draft H250 Plan is on water efficiency. This draft Plan also provides detailed outline of Hunter Water's proposed approach to resource planning.
