Glenelg
Outfall

Glenelg ocean outfall accommodates one wastewater treatment plant (Glenelg) and serves the area of River Torrens in the north, to Marino in the South, and to the Adelaide foothills including Flagstaff Hill, Eden Hills, and the Blackwood and Hawthorndene. The treated effluent is used for local irrigation and, after further treatment, is supplied for irrigation of Adelaide Park Lands and made available to other potential users (e.g. local government). Treated sewage that is not reused is discharged to Gulf St Vincent via two outfall pipes which located next to each other.
