Tamar Estuary River Health Action Plan (TERHAP) Project
This project will increase the amount of bulk water storage in Whitemark by increasing the height of Henderson Dam. This will improve the security of drinking water on the island.
The Turriff Lodge Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) treats sewage from the town of New Norfolk and is included in the top 20 Tasmanian STPs in need of an upgrade. Reflecting TasWater’s commitment to upgrade existing water and sewerage infrastructure across Tasmania, the Turriff Lodge STP is being modified to change the current outfall configuration.
We are connecting the new sewer pipe which was installed in earlier in 2022 along the Esplanade, into our existing sewerage network at the East Tamar Highway/Esplanade intersection, Launceston.
We are constructing a new underground diversion chamber at our Margaret Street Sewage Pump Station, using a construction method known as a Caisson (refer photo 1), to help divert sewage and stormwater flows from Old Margaret Street Pump Station to New Margaret Street Pump Station.
This project involves constructing a new scour valve in a safe and accessible location to support water security in the area and ensure the safe operation of this critical asset.
This project will improve environmental outcomes by improving the quality of effluent discharged from the Longford Sewage Treatment Plant.
In August 2017, as part of our regular and routine safety checks we observed increased seepage from the dam wall. After further investigation, we found evidence of internal embankment erosion (piping) within the upper section of the dam wall. This situation was considered to be unsafe for the dam and water was released from the reservoir to prevent ...
At over 150 years old, the Upper Reservoir Dam requires essential infrastructure upgrades to support the continued security of water supply to the Hobart area.
The Mikany Dam upgrade will improve water security. It will ensure the dam is safe, provides flood protection and meets modern standards.
