Field trip - Bryn Estyn Water Treatment Plant

The Bryn Estyn Water Treatment Plant is greater Hobart's primary source of drinking water, providing an average 60% of the water supply needs annually.  It was originally constructed in 1962, with capacity augmentations completed in 1972 and 1992.  The plant is currently being upgraded to ensure it can continue to provide high quality drinking water and meet projected demand for years to come.  Come along and learn about the Bryn Estyn Upgrade Project which aims to:

• Lower the risk of water      restrictions in the greater Hobart region
• Improve operational      efficiency by increasing capacity and modernising infrastructure
• Enable the reliable supply      of 160 million litres of water per day
• in-build the capacity to      expand the water supply demand in future
• Provide the highest quality      drinking water for Tasmanians.
