Council awards $27.5m project for new water clarifiers
Townsville City Council will invest $27.5 million to construct two new water clarifiers at the Douglas Water Treatment Plant, enhancing the facility’s capacity to produce clean, healthy drinking water for the city.
The project is the latest move by Council to swiftly address the unexpected interruptions to water delivery experienced in late 2020 and earlier this year.
Earlier this week, Council announced the completion of an enhanced secondary water intake for the Douglas Water Treatment Plant, while work duplicating the pipeline between the dam and treatment plant has been fast-tracked.
BMD Constructions has been awarded the contract to construct the new clarifiers, which is expected to support around 40 jobs. Work is expected to start this week and be completed by the end of August 2022.
