Alternative Water

Using alternative water for garden watering, car washing or toilet flushing means we can save our precious drinking water for the things we really need it for - like drinking, cooking and bathing!

Alternative water comes from a variety of sources including recycled water, stormwater, greywater, groundwater and industrial water.

It is always treated to appropriate standards to ensure it is safe for a specific purpose such as irrigation, garden watering or toilet flushing.

These standards are established in national and state guidelines.
