Hawkesbury. First private sewerage system

The first private sewerage system is being installed in a new housing development on Sydney's fringe. At Pitt Town, on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, a small company called the Water Factory will recycle sewage from more than 900 homes for reuse in their toilets, washing machines and gardens in the part-built housing development called Vermont. While other housing developments in Sydney, including some at Rouse Hill and Homebush Bay, have recycled water it is provided by Sydney Water not a private company.
