Municipal Water Treatment
FILTEC delivers municipal water treatment solutions for New Zealand and Australian councils, providing safe drinking water, wastewater treatment, water reuse, and pre-treatment systems that support resilient infrastructure and public health.
Secure Safe Water in Your Region

Supporting Safe, Compliant Water Systems for Growing Communities
Councils and water authorities are responsible for delivering safe, reliable water and wastewater services while managing aging infrastructure, climate risk, and growing populations. FILTEC provides end-to-end municipal water treatment solutions—from drinking water to council wastewater treatment and reuse. Our systems help maintain compliance, reduce environmental impact, and ensure resilient service delivery across towns, cities, and rural communities.

Challenges We Solve for Councils
Maintaining Drinking Water Compliance
Councils must meet strict public health standards. FILTEC designs council water treatment systems that deliver safe, high-quality drinking water aligned with Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and New Zealand Drinking Water Standards requirements.
Managing Aging Infrastructure
Legacy infrastructure limits treatment capacity. We provide scalable upgrades, modular systems, and retrofits to strengthen performance while minimising disruption.
Responding to Natural Disasters and Emergencies
Disasters can cripple water supply. FILTEC offers emergency water containers, equipment stock on-hand, modular systems, and robust plant designs that improve service continuity and resilience.
Treating Variable Source Water
Source water from rivers, lakes, or bores may fluctuate in quality. Our municipal water treatment solutions provide consistent treatment across diverse water sources.
Meeting Population Growth and Demand
Growing communities place pressure on supply. FILTEC delivers modular council water treatment plants that can be scaled to meet future capacity requirements.
Reducing Environmental Impact of Effluent
Councils must manage wastewater sustainably. Our council wastewater treatment solutions improve effluent quality and support discharge or reuse compliance.
Balancing Budgets with Compliance Needs
Cost control is critical in public projects. FILTEC offers long-term value through low-maintenance systems, fixed-cost proposals, and in-house engineering.
Coordinating Projects Across Multiple Stakeholders
Municipal water projects involve complex coordination. FILTEC supports councils with integrated delivery, stakeholder reporting, and transparent communication.
How FILTEC Solves Municipal Water Treatment Challenges

Drinking Water Treatment
FILTEC designs and builds municipal drinking water systems to meet public health and regulatory requirements. Our plants use filtration, disinfection, and clarification to deliver safe, great-tasting water for urban, peri-urban, and rural communities. Whether for new builds or upgrades, our solutions ensure drinking water reliability and compliance for council assets.
Wastewater Treatment
Our council wastewater treatment solutions reduce environmental impact and improve compliance. We design systems that remove solids, organics, and nutrients using biological, chemical, and filtration processes. Suitable for small communities or major plants, these systems ensure effective treatment and protect waterways and ecosystems.


Water Reuse
FILTEC provides municipal water reuse systems that treat wastewater for non-potable reuse, such as irrigation, industrial use, or public utilities. Designed to meet Class A or B standards, our reuse solutions reduce freshwater demand, enhance sustainability, and help councils manage long-term water resilience.
Source Water Pre-Treatment
Raw water often requires treatment before entering main systems. FILTEC offers pre-treatment solutions including clarification, pH correction, and filtration to remove sediment, balance water chemistry, and reduce scaling or fouling. This improves treatment efficiency and protects downstream processes.


Modular Treatment Plants
For rural councils, small towns, or rapid deployment needs, our modular water treatment systems offer a complete, packaged solution. Delivered in containers or skids, they simplify installation, reduce on-site works, and provide a compliant drinking water supply for isolated or decentralised communities.
