Council prepares to tender for a new wastewater treatment plant

13 May 2022

Mount Barker District Council’s wastewater treatment plant on Springs Road currently services the townships of Mount Barker, Littlehampton, Nairne and Brukunga, and is the largest council operated wastewater treatment facility in South Australia.

To cater for existing and future flows, the plant is being upgraded in the area previously occupied by the eastern storage lagoon.

The Council is preparing to put to the open market the procurement of a wastewater treatment plant in Mount Barker to service existing customers and growth.

The proposed timing for market release is June 2022.

The procurement will be issued via VendorPanel Marketplace which is an online quoting/tendering platform used by the council.

“This is a really important and exciting project and when completed, the new wastewater treatment plant will be a significant investment in the future of the district’s wastewater and recycled water network.” Mayor Ferguson added.
