Gallery of log for WanAus 181 - Water Storage 2 - Below Ground Water Storage

17-Feb-12
Located on the corner of Geddes and Wilma and McKnights Streets in a suburb in South toowoomba. Originally this tank was constructed to store water from nearby bore and then to supply water to the residents of the rapidly developing area of South toowoomba. The initial purpose was domestic and supply for pressure for Fire fighting purposes.

Over time with Toowoomba growing to a popluation in excess of 100,000 people more water storage tanks and towers were erected at stratigic places in all corners of Toowoomba. A water treatment and storage facility had to be built on the North Side of Toowoomba at Mt kynoch to treat water from the three main storage dams. Cooby Creek, Cressbrook Creek and Perserverence Dams.

All the Water tanks and Reservoirs were eventually al interconnected by pipeline but still allowing the use of the bores in emergency situations.
