Outfall

Whyalla ocean outfall accommodates one wastewater treatment plant (Whyalla) and serves the City of Whyalla, on the western shore of the Upper Spencer Gulf. Approximately 7 ML of treated effluent is discharged daily via an outfall channel into a tidal creek, which flows into samphire and mangroves east to Spencer Gulf, about 2km from the plant and 3km from the nearest beach.
