Industrial estate to get a sewer service
Council is about to embark on the significant undertaking of construction of a reticulated sewer system to the Muswellbrook industrial area along Thomas Mitchell Drive. The construction of this system will significantly benefit the industrial sector in particular, and the overall community in general. Such a facility will eliminate the significant existing problems associated with management of on-site disposal of effluent. This will allow additional production capacity in businesses as a result of the ability to dispose of larger quantities of wastewater, whilst freeing up land area on each block that is currently used for onsite effluent disposal.
The budgeted cost of this project is $3,000,000 and is expected to be completed by June 2011. Read more. |
