Wastewater Treatment Plants powering ahead!

Tairua and Pauanui’s new wastewater treatment plant is being commissioned now and tanks are in the process of being filled with sewerage. It is expected the plant will be fully operational by mid-December and will then undergo a two month operational proving period to ensure it does all the things it’s designed to do. Meanwhile, major construction work is underway on the Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) tanks at the new Whangamata Wastewater Treatment Plant.
