The current reservoir servicing the Bendeela area has been identified to have minor issues that affect the delivery of water to users. When the reservoir is emptied for inspection or maintenance, the township is fully reliant on the continual operation of the water treatment plant (WTP). A reservoir of such small capacity (0.1 Megalitre (ML)) does not provide adequate support to the supply of water to the area in times of peak flow, particularly holiday periods. As such, the construction of a new 0.5 ML concrete reservoir is proposed to be created to assist in the supply of water to the Kangaroo Valley region.
