Recycled water at work

The use of recycled water for industrial purposes must be assessed individually to ensure that the proposed use is appropriate for Class A recycled water.  EPA Victoria also requires a risk management plan.

We also provide access to recycled water for local councils in our service area to irrigate sporting ovals for the purpose of drought relief and while water restrictions are in place in Melbourne.

If you would like to discuss the use of recycled water in your business or you are a council interested in accessing recycled water, please contact us on 13 1721.

For more information on recycled water and what it can and cannot be used for, visit the EPA Victoria website. You can also find more information in our FAQ section.
