ACTEW Gets Green Light for Water Pipeline Project

Landholders in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, have given the nod to Canberra’s water authority ACTEW for a new $150m water pipeline that extends from Murrumbidgee to Googong.

ACTEW had received approvals from the federal and ACT governments and was waiting for the pipeline licence approval from the NSW Government, according to ABC News.

The project includes 12km of underground pipeline to transfer water from the Murrumbidgee River to Burra Creek in NSW, which will then flow 13km down into the Googong Reservoir.

The pipeline will transfer up to 100 megalitres of water a day.
