What was this project all about?

Triabunna's existing sewerage network was designed and built decades ago for a much smaller town. The network often overflowed as stormwater entered the sewerage system, much of it from private property. This project will reduce the frequency, volume and impact of these overflow events, and improve TasWater’s protection of the local community and environment.

This project was completed as part of TasWater’s commitment to investing in new and improved infrastructure projects across Tasmania. Initial works were done at the Spencer & Charlotte Street Sewage Pump Station in early April to install additional network storage and manholes.

Construction then moved to installation of a dedicated pipeline along Charles Street and Esplanade West in Triabunna to provide additional network storage . Upgrades to the Charles St Sewage Pump Station included installation of manholes and pipework to minimise the risk of an overflow incident in wet weather events.
