Grace Campbell Reserve, Hillsdale

Sydney Water has finished desilting work on the South Western Sydney Ocean Outfall Sewer (SWSOOS) 1 trunk. This is part of our commitment to improving environmental outcomes at Mill Stream.

We have removed the construction shed at Grace Campbell Reserve and have returned the space back to the community.

Desilting is a critical process to minimise the risk of wastewater overflows and improve the reliability of our wastewater network.

This work involved removing particles and solids (silt) that accumulate at the bottom of the wastewater pipes. The build-up of silt over time can reduce the capacity of the pipe and can lead to overflows that impact our customers and the environment.

We thank the community for its ongoing patience as we work to improve outcomes for the community and the environment.
