• Ross River Dam Pump Station. Water flows under gravity from the Ross River Dam to the Douglas Water Treatment Plant through a 10km long, 1200mm diameter pre-stressed concrete delivery main. During periods of high demand, the pump station is necessary to boost supply to the Douglas Water Treatment Plant.
