The latest
Construction of the new wastewater pump station and pipes is complete after the removal of gravity sewer pipes in Point England Reserve went without a hitch. See the below timelapse and click the link for more.
Project overview
We are demolishing the old pump station and installing new pumps to complete this part of the project which stalled in 2022 due to faulty equipment. We have upgraded the existing wastewater infrastructure that was primarily built in the 1950s and 60s and are now in a position to complete the project which responds to growth and will provide a resilient long-term wastewater solution.
Benefits
- Reduced impact on the environment
- Ease of operational and maintenance requirements
Upcoming works
April
- Demolition of the old pump station has been unexpectedly delayed, so the construction team and equipment will be returning by April (TBC) to continue this work.
- We will be reinstating the car park area and landscaping. This work is expected to take two months to complete. It will not affect the public footpath or access in the reserve, however, for the safety of the public we will be leaving the temporary fences in place. Once our work is complete, we will remove all fencing.
How will this affect you?
Noise
- The work to demolish the old pump station will be undertaken during daylight hours, however, there may be some noise disturbances as there will be additional trucks onsite to remove the rubble.
