The Department of Public works has awarded Aquatec Maxcon the Design and Construct contract for a new 5.5 ML/d water treatment plant at Coonamble, NSW. The new water treatment plant will be based on the lagoon sedimentation process designed to pre-treat the raw water in settling lagoons (sedimentation lagoons) followed by rapid sand filtration. pH correction and disinfection will be carried out after filtration.
The water treatment plant will treat bore water to a standard similar to, or better than, the current Australian Drinking Water Guidelines 2004.
