Recommissioning of pump station in ACT

摘要

The lead article in this feature covers the refurbishment of the Cotter Pump Station, near the Murrumbidgee River in the Australian Capital Territory. This feature also looks at the $65 million Mulgoa, Wallacia and Silverdale Sewerage Scheme in Sydney's west, which includes the construction of five pumping stations; and some new products. The refurbished Cotter Pump Station - part of the infrastructure at Cotter Dam near the Murrumbidgee River in the Australian Capital Territory - has been operating smoothly since it was re-commissioned late last year, ACTEW Corporation has reported. The government-owned holding company said that prior to last year, the station had not been in operation since the late 1960s. The station's first two pumps were installed in 1912, with the other pumps progressively installed over subsequent years: pump 3 in 1935, pump 4 in 1942, pumps 5 and 6 in 1955, and pumps 7 and 8 in 1963.
