Preparation for Mogo pump station upgrade

Eurobodalla Council is upgrading Mogo’s sewer pump station, with tree removal works due to begin in the coming weeks to prepare the area for contractors.

Council will also install a new section of the sewer rising main before contractors begin construction early February 2023.

The upgrade includes improved access for maintenance works, replacement of the old pumps, installation of new pipes, a new section of the sewer rising main and relocation of the chemical dosing unit and replacement of the electrical cabinet.

Eurobodalla Council Acting Director of Infrastructure, Tony Swallow, said the pump station was built 28 years ago and was due for an upgrade.

“These works are a routine refurbishment of the station as the mechanical and electrical components are nearing end of serviceable life,” Mr Swallow said.

“The upgrade will ensure reliable sewerage services continue to be provided for Mogo.

“We will also be installing a new sewer line which will allow the RFS to put toilets and other facilities in the RFS shed.

“Upon completion of the works, we will be instating native gardens out the front of the new station to beautify the area.”
