odour upgrade to:
• increase plant capacity by about 30 per cent
and meet the service area demands to 2040,
• improve operational e昀케ciency and replace
aging infrastructure in the existing plant,
• incorporate extensive odour control
upgrades for the existing plant,
• include odour controls for the expansion,
and
• contribute to carbon neutrality by using
solar panels and recovering heat from
treated e昀툀uent. •
