A brand-new water treatment plant, to be known as Moana Anu Anu, was opened at Moana Point in Whangamatā last week.
The plant is fitted with the latest technology and methodologies for treating water including Evoca-supplied membrane units, new filtration, dosing and monitoring equipment.
All the upgrades will ensure the area’s drinking water quality complies with current New Zealand Drinking Water standards.
Thames Coromandel District Council (TCDC) deputy mayor Terry Walker was present to officially open the plant which has been built to help keep up with increased water treatment demands during the busiest summer months.
The new water treatment plant is number eight of 10 in TCDC’s Drinking Water Standards Upgrade project and follows the completion of plants at Onemana, Tairua, Pāuanui, Whitianga, Coromandel Town and Whangamatā (Beverley Hills and Wentworth Valley).
