Project Implementation
Recycle water from the Bundamba AWTP is pumped to
and used as cooling tower and boiler makeup water at the
Swanbank and Tarong Power Stations
Recycled water replaces water that is otherwise removed
from municipal water reservoirs; thereby replenishing the
local drinking water supply.
