Glenelg to Adelaide Parklands Recyled Water Project

Recycled water now flowing to the Park Lands

Recycled water is now flowing to the Adelaide Park Lands following the early completion of the Federal and State Government funded $76.25 million Glenelg to Adelaide Park Lands Recycled Water Project.

The 32 kilometre network currently provides recycled water from the Glenelg Wastewater Treatment Plant to Adelaide’s Park Lands and city gardens.

The Glenelg to Adelaide Park lands Recycled Water Project

This State and Federal Government funded project has the capacity to provide 5.5 billion litres of high quality recycled water annually (or a maximum of 35 megalitres per day, depending on the amount of water coming into the Treatment Plant). The project will provide up to 1.3 billion litres each year to irrigate the Adelaide Park Lands and will reduce dependence on other water sources including the River Murray. The project provides a sustainable long-term solution for watering the Park Lands and presents opportunities for the development of additional recycled water initiatives.

The project was delivered by the CityGreen Alliance, which comprises SA Water, United Water, Leed Engineering and Construction, Leighton Services and Guidera O’Connor.
