Sydney Water plays a key role in ensuring safe and reliable drinking water is supplied each time Sydney's ever-growing population turns on a tap. Almost 85% of Sydney households receive their drinking water from Prospect Water Filtration Plant, which takes water from Warragamba Dam, Upper Nepean Dams and Prospect Reservoir. This water is consistently treated to a high quality and is some of the best in the world.
To ensure we continue to meet current and future customer demands in Greater Sydney, we are planning to build a new facility near the Prospect Water Filtration Plant. The Prospect Pretreatment Plant will provide additional treatment for raw water to support the water filtration plant. This will allow the Prospect Water Filtration Plant to continue providing safe, secure and reliable drinking water during periods where raw water quality has been impacted, such as after large storm events where there is increased run-off into the dams, from heavy rainfall that follows bushfire events, or high inflows following extended drought periods.
