New Tomingley Water Treatment Plant Begins Operating

A new $720 000 water treatment plant is providing safe and reliable access to water for Tomingley on the Western Plains thanks to funding from the State and Federal Governments and Narromine Shire Council.

The previous water treatment plant was built in the 1960s and had reached the end of its life.

Replacing ageing water infrastructure gives residents and visitors access to a secure water supply that will meet the demands of future generations for at least the next three decades.

Everyone deserves access to safe and secure water which is why the NSW Government stepped in to support Narromine Shire Council with funding to replace the old plant and deliver infrastructure that is fit for the 21st century.

The new Water Treatment Plant will also help drive economic growth for local businesses as it is able to support current and future development opportunities in Tomingley including the potential expansion of Tomingley gold mines.

This project was made possible through a co-funding agreement including $300,000 from the NSW Government’s Safe and Secure Water Program, $320,000 from the Federal Government and $100,000 from Narromine Shire Council.

The Safe and Secure Water Program is a $1 billion regional infrastructure program established in 2017 that helps co-fund eligible water and sewerage projects in regional NSW.
