Fluoride plant considered

Gosford Council will consider a tender for a fluoridation system at Woy Woy Water Treatment Plants at its reconvened meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, July 10.

The Council deferred the matter to receive "a full report" on the tenders received.

Tenders for the project closed on June 26.

A report from council officers stated that the time required for a "comprehensive assessment process" required that the matter be considered by council at its reconvened meeting of July 10.

It stated: "This will maximize the time available for assessment of the tenders received and will not impact on the anticipated time frame for the project."

The project was to install fluoridation facilities to dose hydrofluosilicic acid product into the potable water at both water treatment plants.

The work includes design, drawings, construction, supply, installation, commissioning, testing, proving, operator training and provision of defects liability, operation and maintenance manuals and other technical documentation.
