The Challenge
Balonne Shire Council was investigating ways to supplement their town's water supply from the Balonne River for ongoing water security.

The challenge they were presented with was the water from the artesian bore was 57 degrees Celsius and needed to be cooled to a suitable temperature before it could be used.
The Solution
The Balonne Shire Council engaged Proterra Group to design, supply, deliver, construct and commission a bore water cooling tower at Dirranbandi’s water treatment plant so it could be used.
