New Potable Water Reservoirs

Ensuring safer water for Fairlie: Reliant Solutions’ new reservoirs.

Project overview

In a significant step towards enhancing the quality and reliability of water supply, Reliant Solutions has successfully completed the construction of two new reservoirs for the Fairlie community.

This project is part of a broader initiative to provide safer and more resilient water infrastructure, ensuring that residents have access to clean and safe drinking water year-round.

The challenge

Fairlie, a picturesque town in the Mackenzie District, has long faced challenges with its water supply, particularly during peak demand periods and in the face of climate variability.

Our solution

The new reservoirs, built by Reliant Solutions, are designed to address these challenges by providing additional storage capacity and improving the overall resilience of the water supply system.

Resilience and reliability: Designed to withstand natural hazards and climate variability, the reservoirs provide a stable and reliable water supply, reducing the risk of water shortages.

Community benefits

The completion of these reservoirs brings numerous benefits to the Fairlie community:

Safer drinking water: With advanced treatment processes in place, residents can be confident that their drinking water is safe and free from contaminants.
Enhanced water security: The increased storage capacity ensures that the community has a reliable water supply, even during periods of drought or high demand.
Support for growth: As Fairlie continues to grow, the new reservoirs provide the necessary infrastructure to support future development and population increases.

A collaborative effort

The success of this project is a result of close collaboration between Reliant Solutions, the Mackenzie District Council, and the local community. By working together, they have been able to deliver a solution that not only meets the current needs of Fairlie but also prepares the town for future challenges.

With the new reservoirs now operational, Fairlie is wellpositioned to enjoy a safer and more reliable water supply.
