Prospect South to Macarthur (ProMac)
Under the ProMac project we are building new drinking water pipelines and infrastructure between Prospect South and Macarthur as part of Sydney Water's long-term plan to extend the city’s water capacity and supply.
ProMac will upgrade our existing water reservoirs at Liverpool, Cecil Park and Currans Hill as well as build two new reservoirs at Oran Park. This will allow for an extra 100 Megalitres of additional reservoir capacity in Western Sydney. That’s the equivalent of about 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools!
We’re also building 15 km of additional pipework, three pumping stations and upgrading our existing network to ensure growing communities in South Western Sydney have access to clean drinking water.
Sydney Water is investing in new infrastructure that will support the growing, dynamic South Western Sydney.
ProMac will help Sydney Water deliver on its vision of creating a better life with world-class water services.

One of the businesses directly impacted by these works was the Cecil Hills Early Education and Care Centre. Following extensive consultation with centre staff, Diona was able to schedule the works to occur outside of their business hours and adjust the pipe alignment to avoid a boom gate and reduce tree loss.
At the end of June, Sydney Water Delivery Partner ACCIONA Australia and Diona returned to the centre to donate three trees. The trees were presented to centre staff and representatives from Liverpool City Council NSW parks and facilities teams.
We then had some very keen mini helpers pull on some gloves and help plant the trees. The spotted gums will provide the centre’s backyard with some much-needed shade in the summer months.
