The $2 million Koumala Water Treatment Plant is now complete, with three storage tanks and a pump station now installed onsite.
Contractor Clean Teq Water began construction of the plant in April 2021.
Mackay Regional Council Mayor, Greg Williamson, said while data showed that Koumala’s treated water was of acceptable quality from a health perspective, the water was higher in hardness than is ideal.
“The plant has been specifically built to reduce the hardness of the town’s water supply, so this is a terrific result,” Mr Williamson said.
The Koumala Water Treatment Plant is located at the western corner of Water Tower Road, adjacent to the Gordon Morrison Sports Ground.
The Koumala Water Quality Upgrade is proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s Local Government Grants and Subsidies program in association with Mackay Regional Council.
This is a $2 million project, with the Queensland Government’s Local Government Grants and Subsidies Program contributing $801,767.94.
