How is water supplied to consumers?
The Awoonga Pump Station pumps water from Lake Awoonga at a rate of up to 3,000 litres per second. The water is carried to Gladstone through a series of pipelines, ranging in diameter from 700mm to 1440mm. There are more than 200km of pipelines that carry water to various destinations in the region. This includes 147km of pipelines to carry raw or untreated water to customers and the water treatment plants. There is an additional 58km of pipelines that carry treated water to Gladstone City Council, Calliope Shire Council and other industrial customers.
