Yes, as part of our Waiwera Water and Wastewater Servicing Programme, we’re installing a new wastewater pump station and a 4.5-kilometre pipeline to connect it to the Hatfields Beach pump station 🏗️ The first section of the wastewater pipe is currently being installed on the Hibiscus Coast Highway and once the construction is complete, we’ll then be pumping the wastewater on from Hatfields Beach to the Army Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant, where it will be treated 👉 At the moment, the wastewater in the area goes through the Waiwera Wastewater Treatment Plant, but once this new system is up and running, we’ll be decommissioning the plant since it’s reached the end of its service life. The change in the treatment plant will mean a change in where the treated wastewater is discharged too, going from being discharged into the Waiwera estuary to being discharged via the Army Bay outfall after a more robust treatment process 💩 And the water side of things? We’ll be installing a new watermain to increase the reliability of the local network and cater for future growth 💧 Like we said, we’re on a highway to improved water and wastewater services in Waiwera!
