What's this project all about?

TasWater has increased its emergency storage capacity at several sewage pump stations (SPS), by installing some new sewage pipeline mains within the Sorell council municipality.

These completed upgrades have dramatically reduced the likelihood of sewer overflow during wet weather events and power outages. This has reduced our risk and providing positive environmental outcomes.

Construction and installation of increased emergency storage has been completed at the below sewage pump stations.

The Giblin Drive SPS upgrade was completed in June 2023.

Installation of a new sewer main along Fitzroy Street was completed in early 2024.

Installation of a new sewer main from our Tasman Highway sewage pump station along the edge of Pembroke Park was completed in early 2025.
