This paper covers the upgrade to the Water Treatment Plant at Tarcutta village located on the Hume highway between Sydney and Melbourne.  The upgrade was necessary to achieve removal of soluble iron and manganese from the source water prior to chlorination of the village supply. The paper will essentially focus on the process which we went through to find suitable technologies for this removal.
