Community and Construction Updates

The Hoxton Park Recycled Water Scheme in south western Sydney will supply about 900 million litres of recycled water to businesses and about 7,000 homes by 2015. This major recycled water scheme will be commissioned in two stages from 2013 and will eventually serve Edmondson Park, Middleton Grange, Ingleburn Gardens, Yarrunga Industrial Area and Panorama Estate.

Construction of the recycled water pipelines started in May 2008. Much of this work is now complete.

Three new recycled water reservoirs will be built as part of the scheme. Two reservoirs will be located at Edmondson Park, and another at South Hoxton 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.

Referral documents

Sydney Water has referred certain works on and near Ingleburn Army Camp to the Commonwealth Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The works were found not to be a controlled action and a permit was granted to remove trees at Ingleburn Army Camp. The referral documents are available for viewing from the links below.
