Best of the Best Queensland Water Taste Test - NQ Regional Winner
Date: 29-Jun-2017
Whitsunday Regional Council’s Mt Julian (Cannonvale) Water Treatment Plant has taken out the North Queensland Regional Final of the Best of the Best Queensland Water Taste Test. The competition was judged by conference attendees at the North Queensland Regional Final which took place in Townsville on 3 May 2013.
Whitsunday Regional Council’s James Stewart was said this was a great result for the team and a well deserved reflection of the efforts of management and staff.
Mt Julian gets its water from bore fields on the Proserpine River aquifer, from where it goes through a process of aeration, chlorination, coagulation, flocculation, dual media filtration, final stabilisation and disinfection and then pumped out to the Cannonvale and Airlie Beach Scheme.
The taste test is a light-hearted way to promote the hard work of local authorities in delivering quality water services to Queensland communities. The six regional finalists will contest the grand final prize to be held at the Local Government Association Queensland’s National Conference in Cairns later this year.
Other upcoming regional conferences and taste test finals will be held in Cooktown on 15 May, Longreach on 27 June and Rockhampton on 1 August.
