Works have begun on the waste treatment plant behind the Amsterdam Manor.
Some details:
- The plant is 48 years old and was designed to last 50 years.
- Testing has been done on the structure containing the waste. Results were "fatal", the concrete is "practically rotten". Ultrasound tests have shown there are big holes in the concrete which forms a serious and imminent danger to the surrounding area should the concrete give way.
- The plant is not able to keep up with the demand anymore. Only 40% is able to be purified, compared to 90% which it was designed for.
- 8 tons of water pass through the plant on a daily basis.
