Weddin Shire has welcomed the completion of a $12.3 million sewage treatment facility for Grenfell.
The Grenfell Wastewater Treatment Plant will modernise the town’s sewerage infrastructure with new and efficient wastewater recycling technology.
The old sewage treatment plant has served the Grenfell community for more than 80 years.
The NSW Government’s Restart NSW Fund helped finance the facility, which was officially opened by Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke and Weddin Shire Mayor Craig Bembrick on Friday (15 July).
Ms Cooke was pleased to celebrate the completion of a crucial project for Grenfell.
“A reliable sewage treatment facility is absolutely vital to support the township of Grenfell, so I am very pleased to see this project delivered in full,” Ms Cooke said.
“This modern facility will ensure the town’s requirements will be met for generations to come, with the works undertaken at the site a credit to all involved.”
Weddin Shire general manager Noreen Vu said the multi-million dollar sewage treatment plant was the most significant financial investment for the Weddin Shire that the council was involved in, delivering a project within budget and milestones.

The general manager said the new facility would employ modern technology capable of processing 1500 kilolitres of effluent daily.
“Council acknowledges the professionalism of contractor Haslin Constructions throughout this project, and we thank them for their ongoing support following completion,” Ms Vu said.
Haslin Constructions project manager Darren Taylor said the company was proud to have constructed a world class sewage treatment plant for Grenfell.
“We definitely went the extra mile to deliver a quality product, well beyond what the technical specifications required,” Mr Taylor said.
“In doing so, we utilised local labour across all disciplines which is fantastic.
“The support from Steph Cooke, Member for Cootamundra, Weddin Shire and the local community has been exceptional.”
The Grenfell Wastewater Treatment Plant is one of several water and sewerage infrastructure projects being delivered in the Cootamundra electorate as part of the NSW Government’s efforts to build a safer, more vital regional NSW.
