The Crest Water Harvesting

Scope of works

This project significantly reduced reliance on drinking water at Bankstown’s second highest water use site, by instead using treated stormwater for irrigation of sporting fields.

• Stormwater is harvested from surrounding parklands, velodrome and roof area and surrounding street drains.
• Water is pre-treated in a bioretention garden before being discharged into a upgraded 5ML storage dam and wetlands
• Water is pumps from the dam via a wet well offtake, pre-screened and UV dosed before being distributed to the 4 irrigation header tanks for field irrigation via a 1.7klm rising main network.
