JHL awarded Design and Construction of 5ML Recycled Water Tank
Posted on July 19, 2009
JHL Civil has recently been announced successful tenderer for the design, supply and construction of a 5 ML steel bolted tank (with liner) and all associated appurtenances, pipework and fittings for storage of Class A recycled water on behalf of Western Water.Western Water has recently completed the commissioning of the Class A Recycled Water Plant located at Surbiton Park, Mt Cottrell (nearby Melton South). The Class A plant contains an existing 3.5 ML storage tank (No. 1) at the end of the treatment train, from which Class A water flows to a recently completed pumping station for transfer to recycled water customers including a third pipe network.
Western Water intends to construct a new storage tank (No. 2) at Surbiton Park to provide additional storage to meet interim demands. In the future, once additional storage is constructed in the recycled water system, this tank may provide additional capacity for chlorine contact time to meet the increased Class A plant capacity in the future.
The works are expected to be complete by November this year.

Walwa Wastewater Project promotes improved services for residents
A dedicated team at Towong Shire Council has worked closely with residents of the Walwa Community to deliver improved sewerage services for the town.
Following feedback from Walwa residents, Council is also investigating alternative treatment processes to the wetland solution initially identified with a final decision to be made in the near future.
Environmental Engineer Charles Knight.
The scheme currently involves the collection of septic tank effluent from properties in the township of Walwa with discharge to a wetlands treatment area just north of the sportsground. The treated water will then be utilised to irrigate the football oval via a subsurface system.
This innovative and environmentally sustainable project attracted a $250,000 grant from Regional Development Victoria in 2007 with the view that the project will be completed by September 2009. Council has committed a further $75,000 toward the project with a remaining $195,000 recoverable from the benefiting property owners.
The works tender was awarded to JHL Civil Pty Ltd / GROMENG Pty Ltd who are responsible for the following key tasks:
- The design of the wastewater collection and treatment system and for obtaining the necessary planning and works approvals.
- The construction and operation (for the 12 month defects liability period) of the wastewater collection and disposal system.
In an effort to further support benefiting property owners, Council has submitted a Small Towns Water Quality Fund Application for the “Walwa Community Innovative Wastewater Project” which, if successful, will substantially reduce the benefiting property owner contributions.
Contractors JHL Civil Pty Ltd have completed their on-site surveys and commenced the design process. Once complete, the design will be placed on public exhibition for comment and approval.
Partnering communities rewards sustainable environmental outcomes and improved services for residents.

VICTORIANS could face a doubling of water bills and a tax on each toilet flush!
Posted on February 25, 2009
As taken from the Sunday Herald Sun, February 22nd, 2009:The State Government’s Water Price Review announced a key water strategy forum this week next month when the four major water authorities - Yarra Valley Water, South East Water, City West Water and Melbourne Water - will reveal details of proposed price rises.
They show Victorians will pay up to 100 per cent more for water during the next four years.
Yarra Valley Water’s submission shows an average customer’s bill will double from $511 in 2007/08 to $1005 in 2011-12.
South East Water is proposing an ascending set of price rises of almost 60 per cent during the next four
years.
City West Water is planning to charge its customers an extra 21 per cent each year to 2012 - meaning its revenue will rise from $117 million in 2008/09 to $250 million in 2012.
Melbourne Water’s submission says its revenue will rise from $574 million in 2009/10 to more than $1 billion in 2012 - an increase of about 21 per cent a year.
Essential Services Commission spokesman Gavin Clancy said new prices would be finalised in June, but hinted hefty rises were on the way.
“There has been a proposal for price rises of between 86 and 97 per cent to pay for some pretty major infrastructure,” Mr Clancy said.
Melbourne Water last year said the dams could dry up by 2011 if inflows did not increase.
Meanwhile, a CSIRO research team has proposed taxing householders for each toilet flush and charging only for volume of water used.
