Affordable recycled water for multiple users

In Western Sydney, several plastic manufacturers, a paper recycler, a food processor, a racecourse and a golf course purchase recycled water for 90% of the price of drinking water, although the water is treated by ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. The Rosehill Recycled Water Scheme is a partnership for sustainability, involving the above users, Water Utilities Australia (owner), Sydney Water, and Veolia as the operator. The scheme will reach its tenth year of operations in 2021, contributing to the economic and environmental viability of the industrial sites, within the regional water management scheme.
