Background

The City of London is undertaking a Class Environmental Assessment to address climate change resiliency improvements for the Adelaide Wastewater Treatment Plant.  The City of London secured funding through the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund for this project, as well as for climate change resiliency improvements at the Greenway Wastewater Treatment Plant.

This project will identify the preferred flood protection measures for the Adelaide Wastewater Treatment Plant to improve asset resilience, enhance treatment capabilities and enhance the safety of plant staff during extreme wet weather events.  Potential improvement works include a flood barrier, an effluent pumping station and other upgrades to protect these critical infrastructure assets and reduce environmental impacts of flooding events.
