Clean TeQ Water Limited signed the contract with local civil partner A. Gabrielli Construction (`AGC') for delivery of a 15 megalitres a day (`MLD') Recycled Water Treatment Facility (`WTF') at Cleveland Bay Purification Plant as a part of a head contract for water treatment and distribution for Townsville City Council (TCC). Under the contract, the head contractor, AGC, is responsible for the integrated design and construction of the Recycled WTF at Cleveland Bay Purification Plant including all civil and infrastructure works. Clean TeQ Water will be responsible for the design and construction of the specified water treatment process and equipment to produce the Class A water for industrial process reuse and irrigation.

The project helps reduce the demand for potable water for industry and irrigation as part of TCC's integrated water strategy. The value of this work to CNQ is around AUD 10 million and includes a provision to increase capacity of the plant to 20 MLD and to upgrade the treatment technology to reach a higher quality of water for reuse. Reusing the treated effluent that currently discharges into Cleveland Bay using advanced treatment technology provides benefits to the Great Barrier Reef and sensitive ecosystems in the area.
