TasWater are working towards providing better environmental outcomes for the region and they have two major sewerage infrastructure projects planned for Cygnet.
Cygnet Outfall relocation
In May 2023, they will commence work to move the existing outfall from the mudflats within the Port Cygnet Conservation Area. The new outfall will be constructed under the seabed at a depth of 6 metres and positioned 150 meters offshore from Crooked Tree Point, an area that has been identified as providing optimal dilution and dispersion. This project will significantly improve the health of the Port Cygnet conservation area and the surrounding environment.
Sewage Pump Stations upgrade
Six sewage pump stations (SPS) in Cygnet will be upgraded to improve safety conditions for our employees and reduce the risk of sewage spills during wet weather events.
The six pump stations which will undergo the upgrade are:
- CYGSP02 – 162 Lymington Road: Public Reserve
- CYGSP04 – 88 Lymington Roda: Public Reserve
- CYGSP03 – 30 Lymington Road: Conservation Area
- CYGSP06 – Caravan Park Site: Public Reserve
- CYGSP05 – Burtons Reserve: Local Government
- CYGSP07 – 2 Esplanade Road: Public Reserve
