Every drop of wastewater goes through a lot before being treated and recycled back to nature. Starting its journey down your toilets and plugholes, before making its way through the sewer network and back to our water recycling centres ready to be treated, cleaned and tested before being safely returned back to nature.
We all need to make sure only the right things are being flushed.
Our teams work 24/7 to monitor, clear and maintain 76,000km of sewer pipes in our region – that’s enough to go around the world twice.
Treating and cleaning & testing
At over 1000 water recycling centres, our teams filter, treat, clean and test wastewater, separating any items that shouldn’t be there.
Our teams use the latest technology to turn poo into renewable energy for our sites and the region.
We recycle thousands of litres of wastewater every second and deliver it back to nature even cleaner than when we found it.
