WRAMS, sustainable water recycling

The Water Reclamation and Management Scheme (WRAMS) at Sydney Olympic Park was built as part of the Olympic Games in 2000. The Scheme was designed to treat raw domestic sewage into recycled water which is then sold back to consumers. The main elements of WRAMS are a water reclamation plant, a water treatment plant, storm water collection, clean water storage and recycled water delivery systems. WRAMS is owned by the Sydney Olympic Park Authority and operated by United KG; it provides continuous recycled water for irrigation, water fountains and domestic/residential uses to Sydney Olympic Park and the surrounding suburb of Newington. The Scheme saves more that 800 ML of drinking water each year and is projected to increase up to more than 1000 ML in coming years.
