Waste water plant to be upgraded

Woy Woy's Wastewater Plant in Nagari Rd will be upgraded to improve odour control and operational efficiency.

Council staff will recommend a tender be accepted at the council meeting this Tuesday, December 7.

The proposed works include the replacement of two existing raked bar screens and handling equipment, replacement of existing stop boards with penstocks and associated electrical works.

The NSW Public Works Department invited tenders for the design, supply, installation, commissioning and handover of the Inlet Works upgrade.

Council will spend a total of $35 million in the capital upgrades and enhancements on Woy Woy and Kincumber wastewater treatment plants to improve operational performance and reliability.

The works will ensure that Council complies with a Pollution reduction Program (PRP) set by the NSW Environment Protection Authority under the Environmental Protection License for Council's wastewater system.
