Grey Water Policy And Information

The continued drought conditions that most of Australia has experienced of late and the fact that these weather patterns are likely to continue in the future has made many house-holders look at new and innovative ways of saving water and re-using waste water. One area that has received a lot of publicity is domestic grey water reuse.

The Department of Health has responded to the many enquiries from the community regarding the re-use of waste water by granting permission for the re-use of grey water either by a temporary or permanent nature. For more information visit the Department of Health website.
