Members of the EPA Emergency Response Team (ERT) were recently hosted by SA Water and Allwater on site visits to several of their critical assets, as part of an ongoing collaborative alliance.
Allwater operates and maintains metropolitan Adelaide's water, wastewater and recycled water systems for SA Water.
The program included a visit to the Hope Valley Water Treatment Plant, where the recently upgraded fluoride storage facility took place and processes were established to ensure the appropriate handling of chlorine on site.
This was followed by an inspection of the small submersible wastewater pump station at Pennington.
The Port Adelaide Re-lift Pump Station was the final site visited where the differences in scale of pumping assets were highlighted.
Allwater Performance and Innovation Manager Dan Hoefel said the inspection tour was another great example of proactive collaboration and knowledge transfer between the EPA, SA Water and Allwater.
“In particular the EPA visitors were highly appreciative of the time and effort given on the day,” he said.
