New system Mt Molloy hall

A NEW septic system will be installed at the Mount Molloy Hall after its sewerage treatment system reached the end of its functional life mid last year.

When issues emerged in June 2021, Mareeba Shire Council came to the conclusion the wastewater treatment system was not repairable and sought agreement from the neighbouring CWA Hall to run a temporary connection to its septic system, which has allowed the hall to remain open while options were investigated. 

As the CWA septic system was not designed to cope with the additional wastewater volumes generated by the hall, council agreed to “pump out” the CWA septic, as and when required for the duration of the temporary connection. 

Council has opted to install a septic system at the hall in lieu of a replacement treatment system, as it would have lower ongoing capital and operational costs.
