Update: Friday 17 August 2018
A $2 million investment in ultra-violet (UV) light disinfection could bring an end to chlorination at the city’s largest water supply pump station.
Staff have recommended UV light disinfection at the water supply pump station at the south end of Colombo Street. A report outlining plans will be considered by elected members on Thursday for approval.
The station - known as Main Pumps - takes water from six wells and feeds about 11 per cent of the central zone.
The central zone provides water to about 185,000 people – just over half the city’s population.
