This project is the second and final stage of a project aimed to address the water resource shortfall in the Tarago system, as outlined in Gippsland Water’s 2012 Water Supply Demand Strategy. Upon completion, the project will enable transfer of water from the Moe system to Warragul, freeing up existing water in Blue Rock for supply to Warragul. The final stage, which will involve a pipeline from Darnum to Warragul, will enable improving water supply security to Gippsland Water customers in Trafalgar, Yarragon and Gippsland Water’s major customers in Moe and Warragul. It will also provide operational security and flexibility to transfer water in both directions between the Moe and Tarago systems in the event of supply shortfall and water quality events.
