\"Kingaroy<\/a>
Kingaroy's ageing Waste Water Treatment Plant will be getting an urgent $650,000 upgrade this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

July 3, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council will spend almost $10 million upgrading the region’s water and sewerage infrastructure this year as part of a 10-year, $90 million replacement program.<\/p>\n

Upgrades to the Kingaroy Water Supply system will consume more than 75 per cent of this year’s spend on water supplies, with a $4 million upgrade of Kingaroy’s water treatment plant and $1.5 million spent on replacement of mains, the rising main and reservoirs.<\/p>\n

The remaining $1.76 million will be spread across the region’s other seven water supply schemes.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy will also consume more than half of this year’s $2.59 million spend on sewerage, with an upgrade to the Kingaroy Sewerage Plant and mains replacements.<\/p>\n

But work will also be undertaken at the Nanango and Murgon treatment plants and the Proston treatment lagoons, as well as mains replacements in Blackbutt, Nanango, Wondai and Murgon.<\/p>\n

Here’s where the money will be spent:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
