Townsville

In order to meet the needs of a rapidly growing population, Townsville City Council is carrying out a massive upgrade of its sewerage infrastructure.

Wastewater treatment plants will be required to meet stricter effluent disposal standards set down by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The project includes:

• Upgrading the Mt St John Wastewater Treatment Plant into the region’s second biggest treatment facility, catering for approximately 106,000 people.
• Decommissioning of the Deeragun, Mt Low and Bohle Wastewater Treatment Plants.
• Minor upgrades to the Condon Wastewater Treatment Plant.
• The council has contracted Baulderstone to carry out the Wastewater Upgrade Project.
