$5 million for Sydney recycling plant - for industrial use ...

From the Sydney Morning Herald:

$5m water recycling plant for Kurnell

The NSW government has announced $5.18 million in funding for an industrial water recycling plant at Kurnell in Sydney's south.

The industrial scale plant, to be built and run by a private consortium, will recycle six million litres of sewage effluent every day from the Cronulla sewerage treatment works for use by the Caltex and Continental Carbon plants at Kurnell.

NSW Minister for Water Utilities David Campbell said the Kurnell water recycling plant will save six million litres of drinking water daily.

"That's six million litres of sewerage effluent that will no longer be pumped out to sea," he said in a statement.

"Instead, it will be diverted back to the plant and put to good industrial use."
