Once operational the plant will eliminate the equivalent of 14,000 wheelie bins per day of untreated wastewater entering the Avoca River.
Since the first overturned sod marked the beginning of a busy year of construction, the existing buildings on the treatment plant site were demolished and the inlet pump station and the treatment plant buildings have progressed significantly.
Out in the town on the network sites, the underground tunnel along the North Quay containing a new interceptor sewer has been completed.
The river crossing tunnel and the installation of a new interceptor sewer on the South Quay has started and will continue into 2023.
The project will bring significant benefits to the local community including environmental protection and improved water quality in the River Avoca for angling, water sports, and marine life.
It will also act as a catalyst for housing and support economic growth and development in the town.
The next phase of project will involve works in parts of the Avoca River.
The works are scheduled to begin before the end of the year and will take approximately three months to complete.
