Boorowa to Implement Smart Water Meters Amid Ongoing Water Security Challenges

Boorowa is preparing for the installation of smart water meters starting in August, following a successful technology trial in Young. This rollout aims to enhance water usage tracking for residents and improve leak detection across the network.

Concurrently, the town is awaiting decisions on a proposed $56 million pipeline to connect to the Goldenfields Water network, which would provide a more reliable water source from the Murrumbidgee River. The project is nearing completion of its design phase and could advance to construction pending funding. The outcome of the upcoming budget is critical, as it will reflect the NSW Government's commitment to regional water security, especially given the community's historical struggles with water supply reliability.
