Upgrade for key Hunter Water pump station

摘要

Balickera Pump Station, an integral component of Hunter Water's Gra-hamstown water storage system, is being upgraded. The pump station extracts water from the Williams River at Seaham Weir and pumps it several kilometres via an open canal to the Balickera Pump Station. The water is then lifted 13m via six pumps and then gravity fed a further 5km, via open canal and tunnel, to Grahamstown Dam. The current system can transfer 1350ML/d.
