November 4th, 2023Water body scoops awards

Central Highlands Water says it’s thrilled to have been named as a finalist across three categories at the AWA Victoria Gala Dinner & Awards held last week, Thursday 26 October.

CHW’s Ballarat Sewer Build Project was recognised for delivering prosperity and sustainability as an Infrastructure Project Innovation Award finalist.

Building essential community infrastructure for the future, the Ballarat Sewer Build is the duplication of the Ballarat East and Ballarat South sewer lines. Throughout this project, we are working alongside community interest groups to closely focus on environmental and heritage values.  

This major project is an investment of more than $25 million and will service the Ballarat community for another 100 years. Ballarat’s population has grown from 22,000 to 117,000, since the original sewer pipe was constructed, nearly a century ago. 

Improving outcomes for our communities, Yarrowee River Rehabilitation Project was shortlisted as an Organisation Excellence Award finalist.And, after more than 30 years of service to the water industry, Jason McGregor, CHW’s Emergency Management Specialist, was named as a Water Professional of the Year finalist.
