About
What's this project all about?
As part of TasWater's commitment to a better water future for all Tasmanians, we're investing in significant improvements to water capacity and supply for our regional towns. Stage 4 of our Regional Towns Water Improvement program includes increasing water storage in four regional communities.
New reservoirs are being built in Tullah, St Marys, Dover and Franklin to improve water security and provide more reliable supply for these communities. This will mean improved water supply reliability
and increased treated water capacity for
current and future community needs.
What to expect during the works
We will have temporary traffic arrangements in place as required and you can expect additional heavy vehicle movements and personnel in the area. We ask you to follow all signage and directions and thank you for helping to keep our people safe as they complete this essential work
