Installation of a recycled water plant at the Warwick Saleyards will drought-proof its truck wash and preserve the region’s precious town water supply. Council expects that the plant will reduce the truck wash’s town water consumption by up to 70 percent.
Waste water will be collected, treated and recycled at the saleyards to wash heavy vehicles, effectively creating a closed loop system that will require very little additional water and remove the dependency on treated town water. The recycled water plant enables the truck wash to operate regardless of the weather conditions, signalling a sustainable and viable future for the region’s only public truck wash.
