Impacts and Management of Hard Water in Elliott, NT
Impacts and management of hard water in Elliott, NT. November 2007 prepared by Nerida Beard, Centre for Appropriate Technology, Alice Springs for the Elliott District Community Government Council. This work was funded by an ongoing initiative of the national Cooperative Research Centre for Water Quality and Treatment. Abstract Elliott District Community Government Council requested that CAT investigate their concerns over the impacts of calcium build up or ”scale‘ in the water supplies in their two community jurisdictions, Elliott township and Marlimja outstation (Newcastle Waters). Staff reported major pipe failures from calcium blockages. Community members and maintenance staff reported frequent failures of bathroom and household appliances such as toilet pans, toilet cisterns, hot water systems and tap fittings. Elliott Council executive reported that the impacts of frequent and recurring infrastructure failures bore a large cost burden on the Council, and diverted overstretched housing maintenance skills to the repair of community and household plumbing. It was also reported by the Council that there were ancillary concerns in the broader community population about human health impacts of the mineral concentration in the water supply. CAT inspected a number of houses in both the township and the outstation, the major water sources, storages and excavated pipe sections. Groundwater bore information was collated from Northern Territory Government archives (DNRETA 2007). Council staff, the School Principal and Health Workers were interviewed for their views, concerns and experiences of the water supply impacts. A range of hard water management options were suggested and discussed by field workers, including failure management, preventive maintenance and water treatment options. A focus group between key Council workers was held to discuss the alternatives, gain an understanding of community capacity for each solution and develop a locally appropriate strategy for hard water management. -

CPC is owned by Terra Firma, one of Europe’s leading private equity firms that acquired the business in 2009. CPC operates through the industry’s four main supply chains: live exports into Asia, processed product for export, processed product to supply the domestic market and we also supply cattle to the Australian feedlot industry.
