water treatment facility tour




One of the audits I am working on requires me to travel around New Zealand to see whether the local government entities are sufficiently planning for future water demand. This can be done either through tapping into new sources of water and increasing treatment and reticulation capacity or by managing demand through encouraging conservation. Today marked my first visit (to the Te Marua water treatment plant in Wellington). On this visit, I saw coagulation, flocculation, separation, filtration and chlorination. Here are just a couple photos of the process.
