Western Corridor Recycled Water Project

The Western Corridor Recycled Water Project is the largest recycled water scheme to be constructed in Australia and the third largest advanced water treatment project in the world.

This $2.5 billion project includes more than 200 kilometres of pipeline and three advanced water treatment plants at Bundamba, Gibson Island and Luggage Point.

These plants use world-class advanced water treatment technology incorporating microfiltration, reverse osmosis, advanced oxidation and disinfection to produce purified recycled water.

The Western Corridor Recycled Water Project will provide purified recycled water to power stations, industry and potentially agriculture, as well as to the Wivenhoe system to supplement our drinking supplies if required.

It has the capacity to provide up to 232 megalitres a day of purified recycled water to the region’s supply.

Interim Water Quality Report - February 2009

The Interim Water Quality Report results show that the final quality of the purified recycled water conforms to the guideline levels prescribed by Queensland Health in the Public Health Regulation 2005. The consistent water quality achieved in these results indicates the Bundamba Advanced Water Treatment Plant is performing effectively and the commissioning and validation of the plant has been consistent with expectations.

Based on the testing results in the report, the commissioning of the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project is proceeding well, providing confidence it is capable of consistently producing purified recycled water that is safe to be used to supplement Wivenhoe Dam.
