Urana & Oaklands supply is supplemented in the summer months by water from Colombo Creek, which is moved by open channel to Urana where a full filtration plant is employed. Small self-contained filtration plants are operated all year round to supply a number of villages. A) Morundah, from Colombo Creek B) Rand, from Billabong Creek. C) Walbundrie, from Billabong Creek D) Tarcutta, from shallow bores near Tarcutta Creek. Groundwater is sourced and chlorinated for other villages with systems operating at Collingullie, Oura, Woomargama, and Humula. A small quantity of water is purchased from Goldenfields Water County Council, to supply customers near to their trunk main between Gumly Gumly and Junee. The township & rural network also serves a number of rural customers adjacent to the trunk mains, and in the general areas of Pleasant Hills, Brucedale, Euberta and Currawarna.
