$23 Million Upgrade at Warragamba Dam Minister for Water, Phil Costa, recently visited the dam to announce the $23 million facelift to the electrical systems completed. Mr Costa said “It has been more than 40 years since Warragamba was finished and a major upgrade was necessary to bring the electrical systems to today’s standards.” “During the works, 233 light switches, 155 general power outlets, 500 fluorescent light fittings and a total 170 kilometres of cabling were replaced or installed. That’s almost enough cabling to reach from Sydney to Goulburn.”
