Rosehill-Camellia Recycled Water Scheme
The Rosehill-Camellia Recycled Water Scheme will supply high quality recycled water to major industrial customers in western Sydney.
A new recycled water plant, next to the Fairfield wet weather sewage treatment plant, will initially deliver 4.3 billion litres of recycled water a year via the distribution network by 2011.
Major industrial customers, Visy Paper, Marubeni Australia Power Services and Sydney Turf Club - Rosehill Gardens, have signed agreements to receive recycled water from the scheme. Agreements are expected to be signed shortly with Basell Australia, Boral, James Hardie and Shell.
The $100 million recycled water plant and pipeline system will be built, owned and operated by AquaNet Sydney and Veolia Water Australia. Secondary treated effluent from the Liverpool to Ashfield Pipeline will be extracted and treated by ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis at the new recycled water plant to a high quality suitable for irrigation, use in cooling towers, as manufacturing water and boiler feed.
The scheme has been designed to be expanded to treat a further 3 billion litres a year.
