Today Logan Water celebrates an important milestone in Council's $26 million Water Pressure and Leakage Management Program.
The first of 40 areas has been commissioned in the new distribution network with the remaining areas to be progressively commissioned over the next 12 months.
City Governance, Finance and Water Committee Chairperson, Councillor Luke Smith (Division 6), said once all areas are completed, Logan City will save more than four million litres of water per day.
"We made a significant decision to invest in the future of the City's water distribution network by implementing this program," he said.
"This program will not only save water, it will also preserve our assts and improve our service to customers."
Cr Smith said what was exciting about this program was that it gave Logan Water much great control over the network which meant they could be far more responsive to customers' needs.
"This is a significant project for Logan and I am really pleased to see it come on line," he said.
"Smart technology has been fitted to automatically modulate pressure to suit the water demands within the area.
"In times of high demand, the system detects the increase in flow and adjusts the pressure upwards to meet the demand. When demand drops off, the system detects the decrease in flow and adjusts the pressure back down to suit the lower demand."
Cr Smith said Logan Water and Wide Bay Water worked closely with the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service during the design phase and had been conducting regular fire flow tests to ensure the system satisfied fire fighting requirements.
