NSW Public Works are managing the construction of the new Muswellbrook Recycle Water Treatment works (RWTW) for Muswellbrook Shire Council.  Located about 230 km North of Sydney, the new RWTW will cater for projected population, industrial and commercial growth in Muswellbrook to the year 2046.

The new plant is designed to produce approximately 3.2 Megalitres of higher quality recycled water a day and will be built with improved noise and odour controls.  The new RWTW will  replace the existing aging Muswellbrook Sewage Treatment Plant and will be constructed on the same site but located further away from residential areas.

The new RWTW will employ best practice technologies, to control noise and odour, and improve the quality of recycled water available for non-drinking purposes, such as the irrigation of the local golf course or for use in the mining industry.  The Muswellbrook RWTW has been funded by Muswellbrook Shire Council, and significantly supported by grant funding received from the Hunter Infrastructure Investment Fund (HIIF), administered by the Hunter Development Corporation.
