Hawkesbury River

[hobbitt]

Sydney Water plan to discharge 700,000 ltrs of treated effluent daily into Hawkesbury River. The Brooklyn Dangar Island Sewerage Scheme is underway. Sydney Water has already begun building the treatment plant at Brooklyn to service Brooklyn and Dangar Island- Pop. 500.

It will connect to an output pipe about halfway along the underside of Hawkesbury River Bridge where the treated effluent will be discharged into the river. The sewage system for Chero Point and Mooney Mooney will hook into the discharge pipe when it comes on line in 2009.

Its good to see this govt continues to treat water recycling with absolute disdain!

I'm wondering if that had anything to do with the horrible smell up around the hawkebury near windsor? Went around there on saturday and the smell was putrid, enough to make a person vomit. It was just awful !!

the smell round windsor would have been the grass farms manure.

secondly the river has hundreds of sewerage outlets.
