PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In preparation for significant growth in the population at Beachlands, a review of the existing water treatment plant (600m3/d) was undertaken to assess compliance with the Water Services Act (WSA) 2021 and the requirements to upgrade the plant to meet the needs of the future population.

As part of the treatment plant and water source audit, GWE also provided advice on the requirements for a Water Safety Plan and a Source Water Risk Management Plan.
