Rockhampton Regional Council’s trenchless sewer relining program is continuing to deliver cost effective results upgrading our Region’s sewer networks, with minimal disruption to residents and to the environment.
Chair of Council’s Water Committee, Cr Greg Belz said the sewer relining program, along with major upgrades of sewerage treatment plants, is part of Fitzroy River Water’s (FRW) investment in building and maintaining modern, effective sewer systems across the Region for current and future generations.
"The program has been increased this year and with a continued annual budget of $5M for the relining component, all sewers in Rockhampton and Yeppoon will be at a strong standard within four years," Cr Belz said.
"The sewer relining program has proven very successful in reducing sewer main problems caused by blockages and water infiltration that contributes to sewer surcharges, and with continued commitment, the end to the catch up program that commenced nine years ago is in sight," he said.
