At Bronte Park, Waverley Council has implemented a stormwater re-use scheme that is in operation. Stormwater is being collected, stored, treated and then re-used at Bronte to irrigate the parklands, for toilet flushing, pool cleaning of the ocean pool and for cleaning public places.
Take a look at the videos below to see an example of a stormwater re-use project in action. The first clip examines why stormwater was chosen as a water supply option at Bronte, where stormwater comes from, and the treatment process. The second clip looks at the challenges of designing a stormwater re-use system in an urban environment, ongoing maintenance, and the results and benefits of the project to the Bronte community.
The project was funded in a partnership between the NSW State Government (The Climate Change Fund) and Local Government (Waverley Council).
There are more clips currently being developed on other schemes. You can register your interest in receiving email updates about the clips here.
