Seqwater officers provided Councillors and Directors with valuable insights into the operations of the dams and upcoming upgrades.

Somerset Mayor Jason Wendt thanked the Seqwater team for the guided tour.

“It was great to meet with Seqwater and learn about the Somerset Dam Improvement Project,” Cr Wendt said. “This is going to be a huge project, with early works expected to commence on-site this year. Seqwater has assured Council that they will work closely with us and the community as they progress their plans.”

“The improvement project will upgrade the dam to meet modern design and engineering standards, ensuring it will continue to operate safely and provide water security and flood mitigation benefits into the future.”
