Recycled water is treated sewage that has been cleaned to a high standard for uses other than drinking. Using it for gardens, farms and industry leaves more drinking water in our reservoirs.
Where you can use it
- Irrigating gardens, sports fields and parks.
- Agriculture, including some food crops.
- Construction and dust suppression.
- Flushing toilets in dual-pipe developments.
Safety
Do not drink recycled water. Do not use it to fill swimming pools or for cooking or washing food. Always wash your hands after contact.
