Geraldton MLA Ian Blayney has welcomed advice that Water Corporation have completed upgrades to Geraldton’s waste water system.

“I am very pleased that the construction of 3.2 kilometres of wastewater pipeline on Broome Street and Webberton Road, started in November 2015 was completed in March 2016.

“This work has improved the reliability of the wastewater services and will ensure that the area has the necessary infrastructure to grow in the future.

“The pipeline was constructed using open trenching methods to minimise disruption to the community, who were regularly informed through direct mail outs, one-on-one consultation and advertising in the media.

“I hope this upgrade puts an end to the spate of pipe bursts and the inconvenience experienced by residents in this area,” said Mr Blayney.
