Council accepts water treatment plant tender

Gosford Council has resolved to accept a $3 million lump sum tender by Veolia Water Solutions Pty Ltd for a membrane filtration water treatment plant for the Peninsula.

The tender of $3,069,592, excluding GST, covers the design and construction of a plant to treat five megalitres a day.

The council has also resolved to implement a comprehensive community information campaign for the Woy Woy Borefield, including a summary of the information to be submitted to the Department of Natural Resources.

As part of the activities, displays would be placed at Woy Woy depot, Woy Woy Library and Woy Woy customer service centre.

Public presentations would take place at suitable meeting rooms in Woy Woy regularly from the end of September through to April next year.

A newsletter or fact sheet, including information on previous groundwater studies, would be provided at council's customer service centres and on the internet which would be updated to reflect the progression of the project.

Council has also resolved to provide a detailed briefing with interested community groups.
