Musselburgh pump station
The Musselburgh Pump Station is the main pumping station for metropolitan Dunedin. Wastewater largely gravitates to Musselburgh and from there it is pumped to the Tahuna wastewater treatment plant.
Wastewater is screened through 2mm subo-screens. Screenings are collected and taken to the Green Island Landfill for disposal. Approximately 300kgs of screenings are removed each day.
There are seven pumps available to pump the wastewater to the Tahuna wastewater treatment plant. Under normal, dry weather, conditions only one pump is used.
The air within the plant is removed and filtered through a biofilter to remove odours before being discharged to the atmosphere.
