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
Consultation has concluded
