DALLAS, July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jacobs (NYSE:J) will deliver design services for TasWater's Bryn Estyn Water Treatment Plant (WTP) Upgrade project in Hobart, Australia, which is the primary supplier of drinking water for the city and surrounding areas.

The upgrade will establish a new and multi-barrier approach to ensure safe drinking water supply, increase capacity to 160 mega liters per day to meet anticipated future demand, and improve resilience in supply for the people of Hobart. TasWater is the water and sewage utility provider for the state of Tasmania and estimates the upgrade cost at more than $155 million (>AU $200 million).

"Despite having a relatively moderate climate, Hobart is one of the driest capital cities in Australia," said Jacobs People & Places Solutions Executive Vice President Global Operations Patrick Hill. "The quality of its drinking water supply has been impacted by recent lower than average rainfall at a time when demand is rising from a growing population. This makes this upgrade critical to ensure the reliability of drinking water for future generations."

Jacobs will deliver concept/functional design for estimating purposes, detailed design and construction and commissioning support services for the project. Jacobs' local Hobart presence, along with its global team of water specialists with experience delivering similar projects across Australia and around the world, was key to securing the appointment.

The project is the first major upgrade to be undertaken by the Capital Delivery Office, established to deliver TasWater's extensive Capital Works Program across Tasmania.
