The works at the Moe Water Treatment Plant are essential to ensure a reliable drinking water supply for the Moe region into the future. The work will enable Moe water supply system to meet the demands of expected urban growth and development. The plant upgrade includes improvements to the treatment plant building and equipment which treats our water to make it safe to drink. The new large 25 megalitre storage basin will provide operational flexibility and increased security of supply.
