Barham Water Pressure Upgrade

Barham residents now have more reliable filtered water pressure thanks to a new booster pump installed at the water treatment plant.

During our Community Strategic Planning Sessions in early 2022, the community raised concerns about the low filtered water pressure across the township. There were noticeable fluctuations in pressure, with some areas of town being worse than others.

Following some initial maintenance work and detailed modelling on usage and flows, a booster pump was designed to offer a more stable supply of water across the town.

Following the installation of the pump early in 2024 and some town-wide mains flushing, the water quality and pressure has been drastically improved.

Thank you for your patience as we’ve been undertaking this important project.
