Denman Water Treatment Plant was officially commissioned in April 2008. The construction of the plant was the culmination of a three stage program to supply the township of Denman with high quality drinking water.
Stage 1 was the construction of 2kms of new outlet main linking the existing 5ML reservoir to the town. This separated raw and treated water flows, leaving a dedicated inlet main to deliver raw water from the river direct to the proposed treatment works site.
Stage 2 was the upgrade of the inlet works on the bank of the Hunter River to a permanent river intake, with a well and screens built to house a submersible pump, and two high lift pumps to send the water uphill to the treatment plant site.
Stage 3 was the design and construction of the 2.7 ML/day Water Treatment Plant adjacent to the town reservoir.
Now that this three stage project is complete, the supply of high quality drinking water to Denman is now assured.
