In early August Urban Water Solutions attended the Pacific Water and Waste Association (PWWA) Conference in New Caledonia.
The conference’s focus this year was on sharing information and experience that will inspire local communities to implement innovative and forward-looking solutions.
Neil Moody presented a well-received paper highlighting the success of a recent project undertaken by UWS in Apia, Samoa, followed by a discussion of the benefits Pressure Sewer Systems (PSS) can bring to coastal communities – particularly around improved public and environmental health, minimised up front capital expense, improved system operations (particularly at the treatment plant and associated pumps) and increased resilience to impacts of climate change.
