WATER and wastewater services throughout the region have received a major boost.
This is thanks to a significant infrastructure and technology upgrade by Urban Utilities aimed at enhancing service reliability across the region.
These enhancements are designed to reduce service interruptions and improve emergency response capabilities.
Urban Utilities Executive Leader of Infrastructure Planning and Delivery Chris Bulloch said the upgrades would deliver tangible benefits for Ipswich residents and businesses.
“This new integrated platform helps us to monitor and control our infrastructure in real-time, enhancing the reliability of our network and reducing response times,” Mr Bulloch said.
As part of the project, 110 electrical switchboards have been upgraded and 13 new radio base stations with dual communication capabilities have been installed across the service region.
These upgrades allow for remote connectivity and faster issue resolution, helping to prevent disruptions and speed up service restoration.
The project covered 206 sites over approximately 12,500 square kilometres, including extensive work across the Ipswich area.
