Do you know what happens when you flush the toilet?

Every time you wash, rinse or flush - we’ve got you.

Every day we remove around 1.5 billion litres of wastewater from homes and businesses across Greater Sydney, the Illawarra and Blue Mountains. This is the water used in showers, sinks, toilets, dishwashers and more.

When wastewater arrives at a water resource recovery facility, we use different processes to remove impurities and recover valuable resources. Treated wastewater is either recycled or discharged to waterways.

The wastewater solids we capture during treatment are stabilised to produce nutrient-rich material called biosolids. These are used in agriculture, horticulture and mining. In some cases, we also produce biogas during the stabilisation process. We use biogas to produce heat and renewable electricity.

Learn how we treat wastewater here at Malabar - the largest primary wastewater treatment plant in Australia - and where the water goes once it's treated.
