Secondary Chlorinators Project
To ensure we continue to supply safe, high-quality drinking water to our customers, we installed secondary chlorinators at 14 reservoirs across our service area.
Secondary chlorinators help us to maintain our high-quality drinking water standards and provide safe and clean drinking water to our customers.
At each site, our contractors completed work in two stages:
- They constructed a concrete pad, installed pipes and completed preliminary work prior to installing a pre-fabricated chlorinator unit.
- The chlorinator unit was installed and connected to our water supply network and commissioned.
At some sites, a flow meter was installed and tested as part of the commissioning activities.
