Veolia Wins Australian State Water Project

The Australia state of New South Wales has awarded a A$500m ($490m) contract to build a recycling water plant at the Darling Quarter development.

The plant will use a sewer-mining method to access wastewater from the main sewer and recycle it on site.

The plant will replace up to 60,000m³ per year of drinking water by recycling Sydney’s wastewater.

The new water recycling plant is one of 12 sewer-mining schemes planned for Sydney, according to desalination.biz.
