More than $700,000 has been spent replacing approximately 1.3km of ageing pipework at Miallo and Rocky Point.
The water main upgrade, which saw ageing Asbestos Cement Pipe (ACP) replaced with a more durable poly pipe material, is set to reduce maintenance and unplanned water interruptions along Miallo Bamboo Creek Road and Mossman Daintree Road over the next 50 years.
The new pipelines will provide a robust system aimed at increasing the safety and reliability of the Whyanbeel water supply network.
Works also included a new connection between the main water pipeline and Miallo State School, improving the reliability of water supply to teachers and students.
Council would like to thank the community for its patience while works were completed over the past three months.
