Black Rock Recycled Water Plant
A new recycled water facility will provide high quality recycled water for water sensitive urban development, industry, agriculture, and community recreational facilities.
The Black Rock Recycled Water Plant will be located adjacent to the existing water reclamation facility in Connewarre, part of the Black Rock Environmental Precinct.

The new plant will supply Class A and high quality Class C recycled water for a wide range of customers, including residential users in Armstrong Creek and Torquay North in a first for the Geelong region.
The construction of the new recycled water plant is a direct response to our community's expectations on sustainable water management.
Our planning forms part of a broader strategy to increase recycled water use and reducing discharge to ocean outfalls.
Timing
Construction on the plant began in January 2012. The facility is expected to be completed in 2013.
Funding
The construction cost of the project is estimated at $35 million.
The Australian Government has committed $10 million to the project.
Recycled water for Armstrong Creek
Armstrong Creek, Geelong's newest suburb, is set to become the first residential development in our region to receive recycled water delivered directly to homes, schools, businesses, sporting clubs, parks, and recreational areas.
Residents of the Armstrong Creek development will be among the first to benefit from a dedicated "purple pipe" delivering Class A recycled water for watering gardens, washing cars, flushing toilets and more.
