Beltra <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>Scheme</strong><br />

The new plant will treat water from the group<br />

scheme’s existing source where water is abstracted<br />

from an underground spring. The water is filtered<br />

and disinfected using hypochlorite liquid chemical.<br />

The treated water is stored in a new concrete<br />

reservoir tank supplying water on demand into the<br />

distribution pipe network. The treatment plant has a<br />

water production capacity of 136m3/d. This proved to<br />

be a difficult site for upgrading and all credit to the<br />

Beltra GWS treatment works.<br />

contractor for its present appearance.<br />
