Will farmers in the Lockyer be able to get water from the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project via the grid?
The combined effect of high costs of new water sources, and high demand from future urban expansion is putting pressure on additional water entitlements being available for rural purposes. However, the Government has given an undertaking that water will be made available when not required to meet urban need (e.g. temporary or seasonal supply, subject to further negotiation in respect to pricing which will need to be consistent with National Water Initiative requirements). This could include, for example, some water from the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project.
