Aurora recycled water treatment plant upgrade

We’re planning to upgrade our Aurora Recycled Water Treatment Plant in Wollert to cater for the new homes and people who’ll move into surrounding areas over the coming years.

The new plant will be a 10 million litre a day recycled water facility and is driven by the expansion of the Urban Growth boundary.  This growth will see more than 160,000 lots developed in the region over the next 2 decades. The capacity of our existing recycled water treatment plant is around 2.9 million litres a day.

It’s now mandated that new houses in this area are built with recycled water infrastructure. This helps save precious drinking water, with a typical residential property using about 25% less on average. 

This project is in the early design phase and is expected to be commissioned in approximately 4 years.
