Interim Water Quality Report released

The Interim Water Quality Report results show that the final quality of the purified recycled water conforms to the guideline levels prescribed by Queensland Health in the Public Health Regulation 2005. The consistent water quality achieved in these results indicates the Bundamba Advanced Water Treatment Plant is performing effectively and the commissioning and validation of the plant has been consistent with expectations.

Based on the testing results in the report, the commissioning of the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project is proceeding well, providing confidence it is capable of consistently producing purified recycled water that is safe to be used to supplement Wivenhoe Dam.
