Wivenhoe dam to Toowoomba pipeline link to open ...

Water will flow today from the $187 million pipeline connecting Wivenhoe Dam to drought-stricken Toowoomba.

The 38km State Government-subsidised Wivenhoe-Cressbrook Dam pipeline has secured the long-term water supply for the Garden City's 121,000 residents through connection to the South East Queensland Water Grid.

Cressbrook Dam is currently hovering at 7.4 per cent capacity - the lowest of the three dams feeding Toowoomba which are at 7.8 per cent.
