Geocache Description:


Rosedale WWTP provides primary, secondary and advanced treatment of effluent for a population of approximately 220,000.

The treatment plant opened in September 1962 to serve the Shore's 60,000 residents. With the Shore's population now in excess of 220,000, the plant has been continually upgraded over the decades - embracing new technologies and methods to treat wastewater.

The treatment plant and outfall are owned, operated and maintained by North Shore City Council. The original design of the nutrient removal system was done by URS and the UV system was supplied by Wedeco. Tunneltech and United Networks and a number of local construction firms are also involved in various aspects of the project work. The maintenance contractor is Techscape.

The Rosedale Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at the end of Jack Hinton Drive, off Rosedale Rd.

Sewage treatment, or domestic wastewater treatment, is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater and household sewage, both runoff (effluents) and domestic. It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce a waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste or sludge suitable for discharge or reuse back into the environment. This material is often inadvertently contaminated with many toxic organic and inorganic compounds.

This cache is positioned at 1 of the enterances to this compound, but also the enterance to Rosedale Park, which has hockey, soccer and softball fields.
