In December 2025, Katunga’s drinking water supply was successfully connected to a new drinking water supply from the Numurkah Water Treatment Plant. This upgrade replaces the previous groundwater source and delivers improved water quality for the community.
What we delivered
- A 7.5km pipeline delivering treated drinking water from Numurkah to Katunga
- A new pump station and 1ML drinking water storage tank at the Numurkah Water Treatment Plant
- Continued use of Katunga’s 200-kilolitre (kL) local storage tank
- Works were completed between May and December 2025 with minimal disruption
- Groundwater bores are to be decommissioned, while the Katunga site continues as a treated drinking water storage location
What this means for Katunga
The new Katunga water supply pipeline delivers a reliable long-term drinking water supply for customers through to 2060 and improves overall water quality. This project addresses feedback received from customers about the hardness of the previous groundwater supply and its impact on household appliances.
Note: Properties along the new pipeline will not be considered for water-by-agreement until mid-2026.
