Oura Water Treatment Plant - Stage 2, Reservoir & Aerator Construction
Overview
Goldenfields Water have engaged Quay Civil Pty Ltd to undertake the detailed design and construction of new water infrastructure at the Oura Water Treatment Plant.
The design and construction of the reservoirs and aerators forms Stage 2 of the Oura Water Treatment Plant Upgrade.
Works for Stage 2 will include:

- transfer pipeline
- two reservoirs (4ML each)
- associated civil and electrical infrastructure along with instrumentation for the operation and monitoring of the system

Project Benefits
- Increased water storage capacity for growth in towns supplied from our Oura Scheme
- Reduced potential for disruption to supply when maintenance works are carried out on reservoirs
- Increased treatment time to improve water quality
