On June 23, shortly after the grand opening of the High Ropes facility, residents were treated to an tour of inspection of our new water treatment plant. This tour was organized by Councillor Margie Ryder.  Townsville Water engineer Julian Tickle gave and detailed explanation of the whole treatment process, pointing out key components including the ultra-filtration modules and UV sterilization unit.  The result is that Paluma residents now enjoy safe and crystal clear drinking water that is higher quality than that provided to much of Townsville.

Townsville Water Engineer Julian Tickle explains the inner workings of the containerized water treatment plant.

PDCA President, Jamie Oliver took the opportunity to congratulate Margie Ryder and the Council on its decision to fund this major new facility and to Julian and his staff for their expertise in ensuring that we attained such a high standard of water quality.
