Sydney Water provides wastewater services to Picton, Tahmoor, Thirlmere, Bargo and Buxton, as part of the Picton Wastewater Scheme.

Wastewater from homes and businesses is treated at the Picton Water Resource Recovery Facility to produce recycled water, which is used to irrigate crops at our Picton Farm.

We’ve been looking at alternative ways to manage the recycled water we produce at the Picton Facility and expand the Picton Wastewater Scheme, to support growth and protect the environment. This includes opportunities to increase the use of recycled water in the community.

    Survey - Planning for recycled water in the Picton area

    Sydney Water is investigating the potential of a recycled water scheme to service properties in the Picton area and are currently assessing the feasibility of the project. 

    As part of our investigations, we’d like to hear from property owners in the Picton area to understand their long-term water needs, and level of interest in having access to high quality recycled water for non-drinking purposes.

    The information you provide is important and will help us shape a recycled water scheme for the Picton area that supports the community, is cost-effective and protects the environment.

    We recommend that you read our factsheet before completing the survey.
