The North West wastewater connection project will connect the pumping station at Taylee Place to the Rouse Hill Water Resource Recovery Facility.
About this project
The population in Sydney's North West is expected to double by 2056. With rapid development, we are launching the North West wastewater connection project to ensure reliable and resilient wastewater treatment.
- A new 800-metre underground pipeline will link the Taylee Place pumping station to the Rouse Hill Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF).
- The Taylee Place pumping station will be upgraded, and an emergency generator will be installed for backup power.
Benefits
Upgrading the pumping station and installing an emergency generator will help prevent wastewater overflows, protecting local waterways and the environment.
The new pipeline and upgrades will enhance the reliability and resilience of the wastewater system, ensuring it can handle increased demand as the population grows
Impact
The project will involve significant construction work, which may cause temporary disruptions to the local community. Construction activities will generate noise and vibration, which could affect nearby residents and businesses. Measures like temporary noise barriers will be used to mitigate these impacts. We will keep the community informed via regular letterbox updates, door knocks and drop-in sessions.
