Sydney Olympic Park - Recycled Water Plant
Wastewater Reprocessing
The Park’s Water Reclamation and Management Scheme (WRAMS) commenced operation in 2000 and was Australia’s first large-scale urban water treatment scheme.
WRAMS recycles water from sewage and stormwater to supply irrigation, ornamental fountain and toilet flushing applications across Sydney Olympic Park and in the suburb of Newington. Office buildings, sporting and entertainment venues and Newington residences are all connected to this recycled water, which is supplied to customers through separate meters and at a lower cost than potable water supplied by Sydney Water.
WRAMS saves more than 850 million litres of potable water annually by avoiding its use for non-drinking purposes. In addition, the sewer-mining function of WRAMS treats approximately 550 million litres of sewage each year, which would otherwise be discharged to ocean outfalls.
