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 />
