Mundaring Water Treatment Plant - Background
The Mundaring Weir Water Supply Improvement Project involves the construction of several new assets at or near Mundaring Weir between 2010 and 2014; including a new water treatment plant, pump station, pipelines, upgrading the Weir itself as well as improvements to the Precinct.
The project will ensure a safe and reliable water supply for over 100,000 West Australians from the Hills through to Kalgoorlie who receive water through the Goldfields and Agricultural Water Supply Scheme.
The water treatment plant will treat all water from Mundaring Weir to ensure reliable compliance with current Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.
Finding an appropriate location for the water treatment plant at Mundaring was a complex issue. An extensive 18-month community consultation process to determine the best option for the water treatment plant site commenced in 2006.
In February 2008, the Water Corporation announced that the DEC Perth Hills District Office & Depot site, situated off Mundaring Weir Road, had been selected as the location for the water treatment plant.
The decision was based on a Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) sustainability assessment and the voting preferences of the community, as well as considering other economic, environmental and social criteria.
