Design and Construction of Marian Water Treatment Plant
The towns of Marian and Mirani are presently supplied with drinking water sourced from groundwater bores. An investigation into the future water supply requirement for these towns showed the existing combined groundwater allocation for these bores would not be able to meet the future demand projections and the quality of the aquifer was declining. An alternate drinking water supply from the Pioneer River at Marian Weir was investigated and the construction of a new Water Treatment Plant (WTP) at Marian was deemed warranted to supply both towns. Mackay Regional Council (Council) seeks tenders for the design, construction and commissioning of this new Water Treatment Plant.
The new Marian WTP shall be designed to have a net production capacity of 4 ML/d (four mega litres per day) of treated drinking water based on 22 hours/day operation. The hydraulic capacity of the plant is to be an additional 10% over and above the design flow rate at all points within the WTP prior to any overflow.
