Bega Valley Council reaffirms commitment to deep ocean outfall pipe at Merimbula for treated effluent disposal.
Bega Valley Council has reaffirmed its commitment to an ocean outfall pipe at Merimbula for disposing of excess treated effluent, despite a shorter, shallower option being rejected due to potential Environmental Protection Authority disapproval. The council believes the deep ocean outfall is crucial to address environmental concerns and improve sewage treatment strategies in the area. Meanwhile, a community group remains opposed to any plan that pumps treated effluent into the ocean.
