CurrentThe Quarry Hill tank plays an important role in our water supply network. We need to refurbish the tank so that it can continue to supply high quality water to the local area.
Why is this project important?
The Quarry Hill tank was built in 1978 with an expected design life of 80 years, however inspections and testing of the existing condition of the tank identified refurbishment works are necessary so that it can continue to provide ongoing water supply for now and decades to come.
What are we doing?
The works will include:
- upgrading the access track to the tank
- site mobilisation and establishment
- paint removal and restoration
- internal repair work inside the tank
- replacement of the existing roof
- installing new fencing, ladders and external stairways.
2026 update
The construction of a new surge tank and an upgrade of the access track to the main tank is now complete. From mid-April 2026, the next stage of works started. These are:
- replacement of the roof
- internal repair work (no water will be in the tank during the works)
- installation of new external fencing, ladders and external stairways.
Managing impacts
We will make every effort to minimise construction impacts to our neighbours and surrounding community, however, during construction, you may notice:
- increased noise, primarily during normal business hours
- increased traffic, including heavy machinery
- potential increase in dust.
Local water supplies will not be affected by these works.
