Relining of sewer mains:
The hidden pipe system to remove wastewater for treatment is aging. This project is to reline sewers in Warwick and Stanthorpe that have been identified as requiring structural improvements to reduce the amount of groundwater that can enter the sewer. The additional water in the system could lead to overload of the pipes, pumps and treatment process.
Smart Water Metering:
This program is continuing with expected finish date for the roll out of the new meters later this year.
Leslie Dam Water Main Renewal:
Constructed in 1967 and a very critical element in the provision of safe drinking water for Warwick. This trunk water main will be progressively replaced to ensure continuity of supply. With a diameter of 525mm, this water main is used to deliver raw water from Leslie Dam to the Warwick Water Treatment Plant.
Design of Stanthorpe WWTP:
The Stanthorpe Wastewater Treatment Plant has reached end of life. Without major works being undertaken at the plant, the treatment process will not function appropriately to cater for the increase in flows into the plant caused by growth. Having completed the concept design, a full design of the WWTP is the next phase in the project before contractors are required to undertake construction works. The renewed plant design will utilise the latest technology to ensure that Stanthorpe has a treatment plant that will cater for changes in standards and growth well into the future.
Warwick WTP Renewal Works:
Critical for the provision of safe drinking water for Warwick, Allora and Yangan, renewal works will be undertaken at the Tooth St Warwick Water Treatment Plant. A clarifier as part of the treatment process will be renewed to provide additional capacity and redundancy. Aging electrical systems will be renewed and the latest technology for treatment to ensure a safe supply of drinking water.
