Call for Expressions of Interest
Barwon Water is encouraging businesses, farmers and industry to submit Expressions of Interest (EOI) to use recycled water for non-drinking purposes. We are keen to hear from those operating in - or considering investing in - the area from Connewarre extending west into the Thompson Valley and Surf Coast hinterland.
The Expressions of Interest will be used to understand possible uses, estimated volumes and required quality, and explore opportunities to increase the availability of recycled water for productive use.
About the recycled water
- Recycled water would be made available from the Black Rock water reclamation plant at Connewarre.
- Recycled water is approved by EPA Victoria for a range irrigation uses and may be particularly useful in supporting agri-business and agriculturally based tourism in the Thompson Creek valley.
- Recycled water from the Black Rock water reclamation plant is already used for irrigation at nearby agricultural businesses and golf courses, while recycled water is used by industrial customers from other Barwon Water water reclamation plants throughout our service region.
- Approximately 20GL of recycled water is potentially available for use annually from Black Rock water reclamation plant, and the Thompson Valley will be key to unlocking this potential.
