Work on site Tuesday 2nd March 2021

After some heavy rainfall in early February, a number of residents reported odour from the lake on the western side of Twin Waters Pass.

The Project Team has been in discussions with the City of Cockburn to create a long term solution to this issue and we now have the Council’s approval to commence remedial work on Tuesday 2nd March.

The long term solution involves covering the lake beds with agricultural lime once they are empty. Agricultural lime raises the PH levels of soils and helps to kill bacteria, which in turn significantly reduces odour.

Work will commence at the Twin Waters Pass lake. A single truckload of agricultural lime will be brought in in a medium sized six wheeler truck. A bobcat will be used to spread the lime across the base of Twin Waters Pass lake.

This measured approach is designed to minimise the volume of truck and bobcat activity on-site. A water cart will be used for dust suppression.

Acumen’s project manager will be on site to monitor these works.
