Where are we going?

Land Contact Bed Water Restoration
Treated wastewater leaves the plant and enters the contact bed system which emulates mother nature by purifying the waiparapara/ recovered water leaving it just short of drinking standard.

  • Entering the system it goes through a bubbling water filtration process
  • Followed by a series of rock and vegetation filtering bands
  • A water fountain system to create turbulence and aeration follows
  • Before the waiparapara moves across shallow water channels before entering a rock pool system
  • Then moving to an aquatic life calming pond before being released through a rock filtration waterfall
In total, the new process will involve a full membrane bio-reactor process, with extra phosphorus removal and microfiltration plus UV light treatment.
