Lower Molonglo Water Quality Control Centre (LMWQCC) is the main wastewater treatment facility for the ACT and the largest inland treatment centre in Australia.

ActewAGL, on behalf of ACTEW, operates three wastewater reuse schemes in the ACT. These schemes extract wastewater from sewers, purify it, and reuse the water for irrigation.

ActewAGL is replacing some of Canberra's old clay sewerage pipes with modern plastic pipes that are tree-root resistant.
