Creating Water Solutions for Municipalities

municipal water treatment councils

The ongoing drought, growing populations and increased demand for water in Australia has put pressure on municipalities to conserve water and identify alternative water supplies.

Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies works with water authorities, councils, golf clubs and municipal customers to deliver high quality drinking water and advanced wastewater solutions.

We can provide innovative water solutions for:

  • Highest quality potable water from rivers, dams, groundwater and desalination of seawater or borewater
  • Advanced tertiary treatment for recycling of municipal wastewater for new housing developments, high rise buildings, tourist developments and golf courses
  • Sewer mining, blackwater treatment and recycling for local recycled water schemes
  • Treatment of wastewater, storm flow and phosphorous removal before discharge into sensitive environment

Desalination & Water Reuse

Desalination & water reuse are important factors when reducing Australia's water consumption.

Veolia Water is a world leader in water reuse, with over 40 water reuse projects in Australia, recycling over 600 Megalitres a day, producing high quality treated water.

Treated water is suitable for irrigation of fields, recreational areas, for industrial reuse in the region, or for discharge into sensitive environments.
