Tasmania’s Southern Water is replacing a 108-year old pump station in Salamanca Place in Hobart, as well as pumping stations in Glenorchy and Clarence.
The upgrades form part of a $180 million, three year project to overhaul the city’s waste and wastewater systems.
“The existing pump station was never designed to cope with the amount of wastewater which comes from all the venues in the area,” Southern Water executive manager Russell Fox said.
