Rockhampton Council has awarded the tender for the upgrade of Glenmore high lift water pump station to Aquatec Maxcon Pty Ltd.
The total cost of the tender is $4,485,000 and covers stage one of the upgrade.
The Glenmore High Lift Water Pump Station is a critically important pump station that is used to pump water from the Glenmore Water Treatment Plant into the distribution system to supply the communities of Rockhampton, Gracemere, The Caves, Nerimbera and the Capricorn Coast with drinking water.
This pump station has now reached a point in its life where it requires a substantial upgrade to increase its capacity and its level of reliability to ensure that it can continue to operate as required to meet the future growth in water demand.
