Urban services
Industry leaders in operations and maintenance, upgrading and managing water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. In Australia and New Zealand, Veolia Water's 22 long term contracts provide water and wastewater services for up to four million people. This includes operations and maintenance of water treatment plants in Illawarra and Woronora on the New South Wales south coast, which provide more than 500,000 people with high quality drinking water.
Water for industry
Veolia Water specialise in managing water and wastewater assets to provide improved water management solutions for industrial clients, enabling them to concentrate on their core business activities.For industrial client Macquarie Generation which runs the Bayswater Power Station in New South Wales, an upgrade of the station's four ageing water treatment plants involved designing and building a new Bayswater Power Station Water Treatment Plant and introducing a high level of treatment to maximise reuse of the water.
The company operates more than 200 desalination plants around the world, producing more than 1,000 megalitres of drinking water per day. In Australia, Veolia Water operates and maintains large scale desalination plants in Sydney and the Gold Coast, capable of producing drinking water for more than 2.15 million people everyday.
