Recycled water explained

Recycled water is wastewater that has been collected and treated so that it can be used again for a variety of non-drinking purposes.

Class A Recycled Water

Class A is the highest quality of recycled water. It's supplied to residential customers for non-drinking purposes such as toilet flushing, garden watering and car washing.

Class B & C Recycled Water

Class B & C recycled water can replace the need to use drinking water for a number of commercial and agricultural applications.

Piped recycled water supply

Each of Western Water's recycled water plants has a recycled water scheme attached to it, with the exception of Bacchus Marsh. The Sunbury-Melton scheme is our longest pipeline.

Carting recycled water

Recycled water carters are vehicles that are registered to draw water from Western Water’s recycled water supply network.
