BACKGROUND AND COMMENTS

The approved Capital Budget for the Water Utility
includes the sum of $180,000 which was provided for an
upgrading program for watermains at locations to be approved by
Council during the year. At the time that the Budget was
prepared we were not in a position to be able to recommend
priorities for Capital Works in the Water Utility. We have now
done some preliminary work and have been able to identify three
priority projects which, in total, are estimated to cost about
$79,000 leaving $101,000 still unallocated.
