This program of work is required to ensure continued effective and efficient wastewater service delivery and compliance with applicable legislation.
The project focus is to maintain and build infrastructure to service the needs of community growth, renew critical supply infrastructure to prevent failure, reduce unplanned maintenance requirements, and sustain current service levels for customers. It will also protect the environment and maintain regulatory compliance, optimize current infrastructure and resources, and identify new technologies to enhance current services.
