Scope

The Cowwarr Electrical Switchboard Upgrade Project consists of:

• Replacement of the head gauge and tail gauge instrumentation to improve accuracy and reliability of water level monitoring and enable better integration with modern control and telemetry systems
• Upgrade of site lighting systems to improve visibility, safety for maintenance activities, and efficiency and reliability of performance
