AquaNet Expansion

Aquanet Expansion

coNEXA is expanding the AquaNet recycled water network and storage to enable sustainable industrial growth while protecting potable water supplies in the rapidly growing Western Sydney region.

The expansion will enable a variety of new customers to utilise recycled water for non-drinking water applications.

How AquaNet Works

The AquaNet recycled water scheme includes:

  • An advanced treatment plant in Fairfield which processes treated effluent (or wastewater) from Sydney Water’s Liverpool Wastewater Treatment Plant, and produces high quality recycled water for industrial and commercial customers.
  • Storage of the recycled water to buffer peak and average demands.
  • Approximately 30km of network to service customers in Western Sydney.

Project Details

The following infrastructure will be constructed as part of the expansion of the AquaNet recycled water scheme: 

  • Approximately 16km of new pipelines will be constructed to transfer recycled water from the existing AquaNet network in Smithfield west to developments in Horsley Park.
  • The pipeline will be located underground and predominantly within the road reserve
  • The pipeline will run through mostly industrial areas, and some residential areas
  • A new booster pump station will be constructed to transfer the recycled water along the new Smithfield to Horsley Park pipeline
  • The new pump station will be located within an existing commercial building in a largely industrial area.
  • A new storage facility will be constructed along the pipeline route in Horsley Park.
  • The reservoir is designed to meet the very high reliability requirements of the downstream recycled water customers and aims to ensure continuity of supply with minimal reliance on back-up from drinking water supply.
  • The site has been identified to enable gravity feed to customers, reducing the energy required for distribution.

The construction period for the entire scope of works is estimated to be between 14-18 months.
