The Blackmans Swamp Creek Stormwater Harvesting Scheme signals a revolution in the way urban stormwater runoff is viewed and utilised by water authorities and the general public.
The project is the first large scale stormwater harvesting scheme in Australia.
It evolved from problem identification to operational reality within 18 months whilst meeting the necessary legislative, environmental and community consultation requirements, on time and within budget. The first harvested stormwater has been transferred to the primary water supply reservoir and is an important milestone in the development of an integrated system designed to secure Orange’s future water supply.
The project won the Environment Award in the 2009 Australian Engineering Excellence Awards.
