Glenelg to Adelaide Park Lands Recycled Water Project
 

A Water Proofing Adelaide project

The State Government will provide more than 3.8 billion litres of high quality recycled water annually to irrigate the Adelaide Park Lands. It will be piped underground from Glenelg to the Adelaide Park Lands and CBD and will reduce our dependence on other water sources, including the River Murray.


This landmark project will provide a sustainable long-term solution for watering the Park Lands and can provide opportunities for the development of additional recycled water initiatives.


This project will reinforce Adelaide’s position as a green city and a leader in water conservation. It will also contribute to a range of significant environmental benefits including:

  • Reduced discharges of treated wastewater to the Gulf St Vincent
  • Increasing the annual reuse of treated wastewater from the Glenelg Wastewater Treatment Plant by more than three times
  • Improved health of the River Torrens and quality of the water in Torrens Lake.

It is anticipated the planning and design stages will be completed by the end of 2008 and construction will start in early 2009 with the first recycled water planned to be available for use in the Park Lands by mid-2010.
