Bendora Gravity Main

Source 📝

503: 63:. Construction of the water main commenced in 1966 and was opened on 5 January 1968. Prior to the construction of the gravity main, water was stored in Bendora Dam and released down the Cotter River to the Cotter Dam. The gravity main is 1.6 metres (5 ft 3 in) in diameter and has been buried nearly the entire length of its construction. The water main has the capacity to carry 310 megalitres (68,000,000 imp gal; 82,000,000 US gal) of water per day. 445: 556: 189: 622: 90: 231: 612: 224: 209: 449: 217: 149: 464: 102: 627: 540: 285: 593: 409: 239: 533: 133: 67: 586: 526: 617: 156: 241: 25: 632: 579: 399: 567: 514: 21: 204: 8: 404: 363: 312: 270: 60: 414: 322: 307: 295: 129: 98: 373: 368: 290: 194: 430: 317: 302: 563: 510: 265: 260: 606: 479: 466: 383: 378: 280: 44: 240:
