Construction works commenced on this exciting project in September 2008.

Construction of the new recycled water treatment facility at the Glenelg Wastewater Treatment Plant is now more than 50% complete. In addition, more than 75% of the underground trunk main pipeline in the suburbs of Netley, Marleston and Keswick has been completed. The CityGreen Alliance construction teams have also installed more than 75% of the buried ring main pipeline in the Adelaide Park Lands, and have completed most of the major road, rail and river crossings.

The underground pipeline is being constructed at a number of locations concurrently in West Torrens and the Park Lands to ensure timely construction completion. Completion of the project, with water in the Park Lands for irrigation, is planned for mid 2010.

Conserving Adelaide’s Water

"Water is one of our most precious resources and it needs to be carefully managed to meet the needs of all South Australians - now and in the future. Glenelg to Adelaide Park Lands Recycled Water Project (GAP) is a landmark project developed by the South Australian Government with part-funding from the Australian Government, and in partnership with Adelaide City Council. On completion, the project will deliver a sustainable supply of recycled water for the Adelaide Park Lands and Adelaide City. The project will provide ecological, social and economic benefits for government, business and the community."
