As the new residential development at Wilton (Bingara Gorge Community) was located outside of the normal wastewater network serviced by Sydney Water initially, it was necessary to construct a privately owned and operated Recycled Water Treatment Plant to service the community's needs.
Wastewater is collected from homes, golf course, school, retail & commercial users. It is then treated through a 4-step barrier process to remove viruses, bacteria and protozoa and make it safe for use in irrigation and for toilet flushing.
This solution enables the community to have their wastewater treated on site and produce recycled water, saving precious drinking water for the population.
