As outlined in the Long-term Plan, we’re embarking on a new water treatment project to meet the needs of our growing population.
Here’s what you need to know:
The Plan:
- A brand-new treatment plant is in the works.
- To make sure we meet protozoa treatment requirements.
- We’re also adding a new bore to ensure ample water supply.
- Our goal? To provide more water without compromising quality.
UV Chlorination Approach:
- This treatment plant will use UV chlorination.
- Unlike the plant on the Lake Dunstan Water Supply Treatment Plant, which is a membrane filtration plant.
Design Phase Update:
- We’re currently in the design phase.
- Stay tuned for more updates as we hit project milestones!
Contracts and Timeline:
- The project will be divided into two contracts: one for the civil engineering aspects and another for the installation of UV equipment.
- The tendering process is scheduled to commence shortly, with anticipated construction starting in December 2024.
- The overall project is expected to be completed by December 2025
Thank you for your patience and support as we enhance Cromwell’s water infrastructure!
