Leeton wastewater

Leeton sewerage system comprises a network of reticulation pipes, carrier mains, pressure mains, pumping stations and a treatment plant on the north eastern side of town. The system serves residential, commercial and two major industries in town. The collected sewage is pumped directly from two major pump stations directly to the Leeton Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP), located in Fivebough Road.

Leeton Sewerage Treatment Plant, now powered by solar, is currently based on a conventional biological trickling filter combined with an Extended Aeration Tank with a total biological capacity of 27,000 EP (equivalent persons). The treated effluent is discharged into the Fivebough Wetland, under license from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA).
