Georges River sewage treatment plants

• Coastal

• Georges river plants

Effluent from two of the Georges River plants, Glenfield and Liverpool, is transported to Malabar STP for discharge into the ocean. However, during periods of wet weather, when the capacity of the system is exceeded, treated sewage from these plants may be discharged into the Georges River. The third Georges River plant (Fairfield) operates only in wet weather.
