Blacktown NAIDOC event

On Saturday 13 July 2024, Sydney Water attended Blacktown Council's free NAIDOC concert event. Water educators and representatives from the project team shared updates on how purified recycled water is being investigated as a part of the future water supply for the region. Conversations with 49 people indicated positive feedback on the proposed project to supplement Prospect Reservoir with support for circular economy and environmental benefits. Some residents had questions about PFAS and what makes the water safe to drink. Assurances were provided that all water supplied by Sydney Water meets drinking water health guidelines. The filtration model was also used to explain how PRW treatment processes ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis work.
