DLGWV2025-0153 - Construction of the Cherbourg Water Treatment Plant Upgrade

Summary and scope

The Department of Local Government, Water and Volunteers is seeking to engage a contractor to undertake the Construction of the Cherbourg Water Treatment Plant Upgrade to address long-standing challenges with drinking water quality in the community. These challenges include persistent Boil Water Advisories (BWAs), low chlorine residuals, E.coli detections, and elevated disinfection by-products, primarily caused by ageing infrastructure, limited instrumentation, and inadequate treatment processes at the existing facility. The project aims to implement critical improvements to eliminate these risks and ensure the community has access to a safe, reliable, and sustainable drinking water supply.
