Moa Point sewage treatment plant

Sewage is waste from all sinks, toilets, laundries, kitchens and bathrooms. This waste flows through a sewerage network of underground pipes and pumping stations to one of three treatment plants throughout the city.

The Council manages the sewerage network and performs regular maintenance, upgrade and renewal programmes.
