Class C Recycled Water

What is Class C recycled water?

A secondary treatment process combined with minor pathogen reduction is used to produce Class C recycled water. With strict management practices it may be used for the following:

• Cooked/processed human food crops
• Selected (raw/unprocessed) crops not directly exposed to recycled water (eg. apples)
• Grazing/fodder for cattle, sheep, horses, goats etc.
• Grazing for dairy cattle (subject to a five day holding period after irrigation)
• Urban (non-drinking) uses with restricted public access
• Closed industrial systems
• Non food crops such as woodlots, turf growing and flowers

Where is Class C recycled water available?

Class C recycled water is available from Yarra Valley Water's Wallan Treatment Plant.

Access to this water is through private agreement with Yarra Valley Water.
