The Tillegra Dam- We’re already paying for it.

Did you know that we’ve already started paying for the construction of Tillegra Dam within the 32.6% increase on our water bill? The interesting twist here is that the dam hasn't been approved by State or Federal government as yet.  

The Wilderness Society is building a community campaign aiming to inform as many people as possible, that they are indeed paying for an unapproved dam.  
There is a form letter on the Wilderness Society's website which outlines some objections to the dam such as the 50% cost increase since the announcement of the proposal, the proposed damage to one of the last free flowing healthy rivers in NSW and the impact  on the Hunter Estuary Wetlands.
