Can you smell the wastewater treatment plant on Kioreroa Road? 🐷
We've got a plan to make it less smelly: covers and odour treatment systems (bio filters) will be installed around the four stinkiest parts of the plant between now and September 2025. What are those 4 parts? Buckle up.

We've got a plan to make it less smelly: covers and odour treatment systems (bio filters) will be installed around the four stinkiest parts of the plant between now and September 2025. What are those 4 parts? Buckle up.
💩 1: the inlet works (where the untreated sewage comes in for treating), screenings bin (where the lumps go, including old barbie dolls and false teeth)
😷 2: the sludge thickener tanks (that reduce the water in the sludge prior to disposal)
🟫 3: the sludge holding tanks (exactly what they sound like)
🐌🐌 4. the snail bin. The water treatment plant has four large trickling filters - large round bins filled with granite rock. The wastewater trickles over the rocks and the algae growing on them. The algae take massive amounts of nutrients out of the wastewater and clean it up. It’s a very robust and natural process, accelerated by engineering and technology.
The algae attract small snails (3mm), which just love the environment in the trickling filter – it is wet and full of food. The snails grow there by the billions. Every now and then, a few snails are swept out with the wastewater and are filtered out before the water goes to further cleaning.
Those “few snails” however, add up to 2-3 cubic metres per week. We put them in our snail bin and empty it weekly. However, this is long enough for it to over-power all the other smells in the wastewater treatment plant.

Owning a vehicle, particularly in the Far North region, is important for our every day life, such as getting to education or work. So when there are problems, it can have a large impact on young and old, both financially and in relation to daily life.
We hope that by reading and sharing this link, you might avoid some of the problems experienced after purchasing a vehicle.

Naturally, you want to share this journey with your beloved furry companion, and at Ryman, you are welcome to bring your pet along, provided they are suitable for the village environment.
Once your pet is approved for the village, the focus shifts to ensuring a smooth transition for them. Dogs and cats, being creatures of habit, may find relocating stressful. However, with patience and a thoughtful approach, we can mitigate their anxiety and help them settle into their new surroundings seamlessly.

Our 8pm screening will be a behind-the-scenes doco on the greatest racing driver of his time, Sir Jackie Stewart.
RICEBOY SLEEPS
Canada, 2022, Comedy/Drama, Rated M, English subtitles, 109 mins
Cast: Choi Seung-yoon, Ethan Hwang, Hunter Dillon.
Director: Anthony Shim.
A heart-warming story set in the 1990s of So-Young, a Korean single mother who is raising her son Dong-Hyun in the suburbs of Canada to provide a better life for him than the one she left behind in her native country.
As Dong-Hyun gets older, he becomes more curious about his Korean heritage and, in particular, about his dead father, something So-Young refuses to discuss.
To make matters worse, Dong-Hyun learns his mother is now in a relationship with a Korean-Canadian man who is keen to be Dong-Hyun’s surrogate father.
(Writer/Director) Anthony Shim is a ferociously talented storyteller.
