High Efficiency Drum Screens for Broome Nth WRP Improves Operational Performance
Recently the Broome North Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRP) was upgraded to enable it to treat all of Broome’s wastewater. This will cater for the town’s long-term population growth, and deliver environmental, community and tourism benefits.
The project will ensure the protection of Roebuck Bay and secure a supply of non-potable water to keep Broome’s open spaces green, delivering long term water security to the town well beyond 2050.
Project Highlights
