Outfall

Pulgul Creek outfall accommodates two wastewater treatment plants (Nikenbah and Pulgul Creek), which serves the areas of Kawungan, Wondunna, Urangan, Hervey Bay Airport, and part of Nikenbah. Approximately 2 ML (dry weather) or 6 ML (wet weather) of treated effluent is discharged daily via outfall pipes into the Pulgul Creek opposite the corner of Pelican Avenue and Round Island Road, 0.6 km AMTD. Meanwhile, the treated effluent is also being reused as irrigation for cane farms, plantations, sporting fields, and airport.
