Our wastewater system isn’t a bin, but some of the things that end up here would make you think otherwise… 🫠 While our workers have seen it all, the system isn’t designed to handle everything we throw at it. When the wrong things end up in the system, it can block pipes, damage equipment and even harm the environment. Help us keep things flowing: only flush the 3Ps, and keep sinks clear of anything but water, soap and detergent. Small choices = a cleaner, safer system for everyone 💧 | Sydney W

Did you know that your household gas could be coming from an unlikely source - wastewater? 🤔 Here at our Malabar Water Resource Recovery Facility we treat anywhere between 500 and 1200 Megalitres of Sydney’s wastewater every day, which comes to the plant from as far west as Liverpool. The plant processes the organic material in wastewater to produce biogas. In the past, the treatment plant has used that biogas to generate electricity and heat, or has flared it off 🔥 But now Jemena’s Malabar Bi

As we are now well and truly into Summer, it's crucial to be mindful of our water usage. Despite Sydney's dams currently sitting at 88% capacity, experts are cautioning us about the looming impact of El Niño. ☀️ After enduring the driest winter in 37 years, we're facing a hot and dry season ahead. 🌞 This has raised a series of red flags regarding our water resources, reminding us that things can turn quickly. Here's the lowdown: 🌧️ Though we've had scattered rain, dam levels need sustained rai

It’s a question we often get asked: why do we still need to conserve water when it’s raining and Warragamba Dam is full? 🌧️ The water you use in your homes isn’t water straight from the dam – it’s treated at our plants before it comes out of your tap. This isn’t an instant process and heavy rain can wash debris and sediment into the water supply, making it harder to source quality dam water, and longer to filter and produce clean drinking water 🚰 We spoke to WaterNSW's Executive Manager of Ope

With Sydney’s booming population and climate change making rainfall less predictable, PRW is one option to help secure our water supply for generations to come.
