With the West Werribee Dual Supply Scheme nearly completed, houses in parts of Wyndham Vale will soon be using recycled water.
The $127 million scheme will supply residents in the Manor Lakes, Bluestone and River Walk estates with recycled water for use in home and garden and will secure Wyndham Vale’s water supply for many years to come.
City West Water commissioned the construction of two water storage tanks as part of the project, at a cost of $20 million.
The tanks, 50 metres in diameter and 15 metres high, are on Ballan Road.
One tank will be used to supply drinking water.
The other tank will supply high-quality A-class recycled water through a dedicated “purple pipe” system for use in almost 20,000 homes for toilet flushing and garden watering.
Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Andrew Elsbury said the supply of recycled water to Wyndham Vale was one step closer now the tanks had been completed.
“This investment ensures that water supply infrastructure keeps ahead of development and that residents will be able to use the right water for the job” he said.
The supply of non-drinking water will begin next year.
