Rouse Hill Recycled Water Plant Improvements
Sydney Water is increasing the capacity of the Rouse Hill Recycled Water Plant to meet future demands for recycled water in the Rouse Hill area.
This project is a key part of the Sydney Water plan to increase the amount of recycled water to Sydney, with the upgraded plant capable of supplying recycled water to the dual piping systems in the surrounding suburbs.
The project involves doubling the capacity of the existing wastewater treatment plant to 27 million litres per day and increasing the capacity of recycled water to 4.7 billion litres per year.
Ultimately the completed plant will have the capacity to service 36,000 new homes in Acacia Gardens, Beaumont Hills, Castle Hill, Glenwood, Kellyville, Kellyville Ridge, Quakers Hill, Parklea, Stanhope Gardens and Rouse Hill.
Work commenced in early January and is due for completion in early 2009.
Sydney Water has engaged the John Holland Group to undertake the work.
A Review of Environmental Factors for the project was on display from 26 October 2005 to 25 November 2005.
A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) has been prepared to ensure that environmental controls are in place during construction to minimise impacts on the community and environment.
