Projects plan - Process Steps • Additional water supply scheme due to development. • Planned programme of renovation to existing infrastructure • Analyses of latest estimates of future water demand growth patterns depending on development statistics.
Projects plan - Process Steps • Condition assessment of current infrastructure. • Annual infrastructure recommendations combine : - extra capacity for 15 year demand growth - renovation to maintain existing capacity
