New treatment plant secures Clifton’s water future

Clifton’s short-term water supply issue is resolved with Toowoomba Regional Council turning the tap on a brand-new packaged water treatment plant for the town.

The Clifton Reverse Osmosis Water Treatment Plant is now operational and began supplying the town’s drinking water on Friday, April 22.

Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio said the $2.75 million investment Council made on the plant would secure Clifton’s short-term water supply.

“Today is a great day for Clifton, we have secured the town’s drinking water supply and can give residents peace of mind that their drinking water is top quality.

“Council has worked hard over a number of years to secure a better option for Clifton’s water supply and this new treatment plant is the best option for the town,” Mayor Antonio said.

Toowoomba Regional Council Water and Waste Committee Chair Councillor Rebecca Vonhoff said the plant would treat water from the Kings Creek Alluvium and Great Artesian Basin groundwater sources.
