Up to 200 jobs will be created as work is carried out to upgrade the Woodman Point Wastewater Treatment Plant in Munster.
The $158.5 million project will increase the capacity of the wastewater treatment plant by 40 million litres a day, to safely treat 180 million litres of wastewater from homes and businesses located south of the river.
The expansion includes the construction of eight concrete sedimentation tanks which will be 50 metres in diameter and six metres high, with the capacity to treat 11 million litres of treated wastewater each.
Henderson-based company Civmec and Black and Veatch Australia are working with the Water Corporation on the expansion project, which is expected to be completed by October 2019.
