THE PROJECT

The City of Greater Geraldton needed to formalise licensing of recovered wastewater for the irrigation of public open space.  A significant increase in allocation from the Superficial Aquifer or deeper aquifers was not possible.

Approval was sought from the Department of Health for the City to use water supplied by the Water Corporation that had been recovered from around the Geraldton No. 2 Waste Water Treatment Plant.

Rockwater liaised with the Water Corporation and Department of Health to prepare a Recycled Water Quality Management Plan for the MAR project.  We provided direction to ensure compliance with the plan’s safety and sampling guidelines, and continue to prepare regulatory reports on an annual basis.  We also provide hydrogeological advice on the operation and renewal of the City’s irrigation bores, as required.
