the water supply with the completion of the upgrade, which is TasWater’s largest capital project,” he said.

“This upgrade will secure quality drinking water to the Greater Hobart area for the next 50 years.”

TasWater CEO George Theo said upgrading the water treatment plant means generations of Tasmanians can have confidence in the quality and availability of their drinking water.

“This upgrade will mean there is safe, clean, and great-tasting drinking water available when our customers need it,” he said.

“We are also looking to the future, and with further investment Bryn Estyn can have its output increased from 160 megalitres per day to 200 megalitres as our

population grows.”

Mr Ferguson said the project – which is part of TasWater’s $1.1 billion capital works program over the next four years - has also provided a significant economic boost for the local civil construction sector and its supply chain.

Hazell Bros project manager Meg Lillico said it was an exciting time to be working in the sector.

KAYE was born in Queensland and moved to Tasmania in 1992, becoming a Hobart FM listener shortly after.

In 2008 Kaye answered a request for volunteers to become part of the Hobart FM family, and for the past 14 years she has woken up listeners at 6am once a week as a Hobart FM breakfast presenter.

Kaye currently presents breakfast from 6 - 9am on Tuesday mornings, playing anything from classical through to country, jazz and today’s modern grooves.

“Large scale projects in Tasmania, like Bryn Estyn, are great for ensuring companies have confidence investing in their future,” she said.

“The work allows the current workforce, along with new apprentices, to expand and develop their skills whilst staying within the state.”

She loves music and loves to entertain - why else would you get up at 4.30am to volunteer your time on a cold and frosty morning?

“I can’t think of a better thing to do,” Kaye says. “Hobart FM has a family of people who tune in. They give us a call and send us messages on Facebook, and we know their life stories almost as much as we know our own.

“I also like to promote live music here in Tassie, and play local artists as much as possible.”
