Our performance story

Following the installation of efficient blowers at the Wodonga Sewage Treatment Plant (our largest treatment facility), we have seen a notable decrease in the plant’s power consumption.

After nearly 12 months of operation, electricity usage has reduced by around 80 kWh/day, or approximately 700,000 kWh for the year. This equates to 756 fewer tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Our drought preparations have included the upgrade and expansion of our standpipe network. These new high-tech standpipes provide rural communities with easier access to treated drinking water and makes it simpler to supplement their water needs.

As part of our upgrade, an extra six standpipes were installed at new locations across the region.

North East Water provides fifteen standpipes across our service region - read more here.

As part of a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint, planning is well underway on a three megawatt solar farm to power Wodonga’s sewage treatment plant. Approximately 10,000 solar panels will be installed. Excess electricity will be fed into the grid to help offset power usage at other North East Water facilities.

The project is scheduled for completion in 2021.
