The pump station operated by Murrumbidgee Council in Jerilderie, NSW, serves the crucial function of drawing raw water from Billabong Creek into a reservoir that supplies the town's water treatment plant.
The original filter system was frequently blocked resulting in disrupted flow delivery and debris issues downstream. Although fitted with an automatic backflush system, it was not capable of preventing these issues.
Installing a fine, self-cleaning cylinder screen at the intake, instantly eradicated the issues associated with debris in the pump and pipeline system, providing a significant return on investment.
