With continuing drought conditions and an escalating level of water restrictions, the demand for quality recycled water is on the increase.

We delivered 286.3 megalitres of Class A recycled water for the 2007-08 period from the Western Treatment Plant to permitted commercial customers.

Our Class A recycled water:

• reduces demand on our water catchments
• helps us save a significant amount of drinking water
• reduces the amount of wastewater discharged to Port Phillip Bay
• provides a safe, alternative water source for gardening, irrigation of public parks, golf courses, car washing and more.

Delivered to our customers via distinctive purple pipes, Class A recycled water is produced by Melbourne Water at its Western Treatment plant.

To meet the increasing demand for recycled water, we have a number of projects in the pipeline, including an Altona recycled water project, stormwater harvesting schemes and a dual supply project that aims to supply recycled water to households in three Wyndham Vale estates.
