Hoxton Park Recycled Water Scheme
The Hoxton Park Recycled Water Scheme in south western Sydney will supply about 1.8 billion litres of recycled water to businesses and homes by 2015. This major recycled water scheme will eventually serve 13,000 new homes and 185 hectares of new industrial development in the Hoxton Park area. The suburbs served will include Edmondson Park, Middleton Grange, Ingleburn Gardens, Yarrunga Industrial Area and Panorama Estate.
Construction of pipelines started in May 2008 at Glenfield, with recycled water expected to be available by 2011. Two new recycled water reservoirs will be built as part of the scheme. One reservoir will be located at South Hoxton Park, and another at Edmondson Park.
Sydney Water will provide regular updates to the community as the project progresses.
Special pipes, plumbing and treatment
Sydney Water will provide homes in the area with two water supplies - recycled water and drinking water. This is known as dual reticulation. The recycled water taps, pipes and plumbing will be coloured purple to distinguish recycled water from drinking water. Recycled water will be used for gardens and other outdoor uses, and toilet flushing.
The recycled water for the Hoxton Park area will be treated to a very high standard at a new recycled water plant at Sydney Water's Glenfield Sewage Treatment Plant. It will go through a complex series of treatment processes on top of the usual high level of treatment for wastewater.
