  • New Pipeline Opened Between Yass and Murrumbateman
    Page 1 YASS VALLEY TIMES WEDNESDAY May 19, 2021 $2.00 New Pipeline Opened Between Yass and Murrumbateman Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said consistent water supply for the growing community of Murrumbateman was a positive step in the right direction. “17.9 kilometres of pipeline from Yass to Murrumbateman to make sure that the water needs are served in a growing community.” With Yass water declared undrinkable at times by locals and a boil water alert issued within the last 12 months, the next comment from the Deputy Prime Minister may be harder for Murrumbateman residents to swallow. “The people of Murrumbateman deserve the same water quality as anyone else right around the country and of course especially when you’ve got a growing community and an additional demand on the water supply, to have the consistency of the water quality, to have indeed the volume of water that you need for a growing community,” McCormack said. State Member for Goulburn Wendy Tuckerman, said that whilst fixing some of the consistent issues with water remains a priority, the drought of recent times has reinforced the State Government’s commitment to water supply and security as the priority, particularly in regional communities. Federal Senator for NSW Perin Davey, NSW a $4.22 million contribution from Yass Valley Council.
