Annotation
Braddon Pont is considered to be a favoured site for producing the quantity and quality of groundwater required. If the Cape Sorell site is utilised, extended pump testing of the deeper lagoon (Heron Pond) is recommended. Water from Braddon Point may be obtained by pumping from a series of spear bore systems.
