The $28 million Dungog Wastewater Treatment Works (WWTW) is not complete. 

Hunter Water has announced the finalisation of the project as part of wider efforts to improve services for the growing NSW town.

Construction has also begun on a new wastewater pump station, as well as a new rising main pipeline, which will connect the pump station to the recently completed WWTW.

The new plant has replaced an ageing facility, which is now being demolished after serving the community for more than 80 years.

The Dungog WWTW uses modern technology and an innovative design to produce better quality treated wastewater and greater environmental outcomes.

The new pump station is expected to be completed in early 2022 and will replace the existing 75-year-old infrastructure and cater for increased capacity.
