The project team is currently finalising designs and investigations, and working through a procurement process for the desludging works.
The Martinborough wastewater treatment plant (MWWTP) does not currently comply with the existing resource consent.
To immediately address this issue, Wellington Water has developed a plan of corrective actions in the short-term that includes:
- Desludging to restore treatment efficiency.
- Additional monitoring of wastewater to inform future upgrades at the treatment plant.
- Investigating and optimising the existing ultraviolet (UV) system for future upgrade options.
