MEASURE
The number of wastewater overfows from
pump statons and the treatment plant
directly into streams and the Waikato River.
LATEST RESULT AND TARGETS
WHAT THIS TELLS US
Wastewater overfows are currently an issue
for Hamilton. This 10-Year Plan includes work
to reduce the risk of pump staton overfows
during heavy rain. The focus will be on high
risk sites and stopping larger spills that can
cause environmental damage. We expect
there will stll be a number of small overfows.
MEASURE
The percentage of days tested where water
discharged from the Wastewater Treatment
Plant meets bathing water standards.
LATEST RESULT AND TARGETS
WHAT THIS TELLS US
The Council has a resource consent that sets
quality standards for the water we discharge
from the Wastewater Treatment Plant into
the Waikato River. We expect that further
upgrades to the treatment plant, reducing the
number of untreated wastewater overfows
and improvements to our operatons will
produce beter results over the next 10 years.
