Fairfield. Recycled-water plant on its way

Water Minister, Phil Costa, said a recycled-water plant upon completion, in Fairfield, would supply more than four billion litres of recycled water annually to industry in Sydney's west and inner west. The plant will take treated effluent from the Glenfield and Liverpool sewage treatment plants and further treat it for reuse by industry in cooling towers, irrigation and boilers. Companies including Shell, Visy Paper, Marubeni Australia Power Services and Rosehill Gardens Racecourse will use the water. The scheme will be the first in the country to distribute recycled water to industry in a built-up area. Mr Costa said construction would create up to 300 jobs over the next two years.
