Manning Wastewater Upgrades

The Water Corporation are currently upgrading the wastewater pump station located on Jarman Avenue, in Manning. This work will help improve the safe disposal of wastewater in the City of South Perth, and support the continued growth of the community.

Due to a change in design standards, Water Corp have modified the design of the new wastewater pump station to accommodate a new power supply. This has caused a delay to the project timeline and changed the way the upgrades will be completed.

What has changed?

To minimise community impact, the upgrades will now be completed in two phases.

Phase 1- Civil works

• Construction of a below ground pump station
• Construction of a short section of underground wastewater pipeline to connect the upgraded pump station to existing wastewater infrastructure
• Decommissioning of the existing pump station and wet well
• Temporary reinstatement of impacted area
• This phase of work is currently in progress and is expected to be completed by early September 2024.          

Phase 2 - Mechanical and electrical upgrades

• Installation of aboveground electrical infrastructure
• Installation of new pumps, within the below ground pump station
• Final reinstatements of impacted area
• The timing of this work depends on Water Corporation’s third-party provider. Water Corporation will provide an update when details have been confirmed.
