The Brushy Creek Recycled Water (RW) Infrastructure project will deliver infrastructure to supply developments and irrigators located in Croydon, Chirnside Park and Lilydale with Class A Recycled Water. The new infrastructure delivered through this project will remove reliance on the potable water network, enabling the removal of temporary cross connections and ultimately reducing potable water consumption.
The project is for the construction of:
- Plantes Hill Reservoir: A 2.1ML capacity welded steel tank, located at the existing Plantes Hill site, to the south of the existing Lilydale Reservoir.
- Stage 3 upgrade of the Brushy Creek Recycled Water Pump Station: The existing pump station is located at Brushy Creek Recycled Water Treatment Plant.
- Plantes Hill Inlet/Outlet Main: A DN225 non-tapping bi-directional main. which allows pumping from Brushy Creek Recycled Water Pump Station to supply the network direct to zone or supply the network via gravity from Plantes Hill Reservoir.
- Dorset Road PRS: An above ground Pressure Reducing Station (PRS), which reduces pressure to ensure that the supply to The Range estate is within allowable limits.
Fletcher Road PRS: An above ground PRS, which reduces pressure to ensure that the supply to The Gardens estate and future Chirnside PAC is within allowable limits.
