Council fast-tracking work to end Bromley odourWe're fast-tracking the appointment of a contractor to remove the burnt, offensive-smelling filter media from the fire-damaged tanks at the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant. Normally we'd invite open tenders for a project of this size, but we know that the smell from the burnt filter material is causing a lot of distress and anxiety to people, particularly those living nearby. To remove the trickling filter media as soon as possible, we’re going to directly appoint a contractor rather than go out for tenders. Aerators surge to life at wastewater treatment plantEight new aerators have been turned on at the fire-damaged Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant, as the Council’s mid-term recovery plan to address one of the two sources of unpleasant odours reaches its next phase. Stay updatedWe want everyone to be able to stay updated on our response and recovery from the treatment plant fire, and have created ccc.govt.nz/wastewaterfire so that we can regularly share new information with you. If you have any questions, or would like further information on the project, please call us on 03 941 8999 or 0800 800 169 or email wastewater@ccc.govt.nz Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding as we continue to work on minimising the unpleasant smells after the fire. We’ll be in touch again soon. You received this email because you are subscribed to updates from Christchurch City Council. |
