The project will not only extend water supply to Tamworth, Kootingal and Moonbi but will also eliminate significant water losses which occur along the Peel River arising from evaporation and water loss to the aquifer.
WaterNSW and contractor MPC Kinetic have completed 58 per cent of the new pipeline from Chaffey Dam to Dungowan village, with more than 30 percent of the workface consisting of local workers.
