Reuse activities

Grey Water

Grey water is the name for wastewater that comes from the bath, shower, laundry and kitchen in homes. It can potentially be re-used for watering gardens and even flushing the toilet. Some wastewater from industry can also be classified as grey water and, after being treated, may also be suitable for re-use.

We hope that in the future there will be affordable, safe systems for storing and re-using grey water in the homes and businesses where we supply water. A local council can approve specific applications for grey water use, however there are potential health problems, so people need to investigate these issues with their local council. They can also contact City West Water's Conservation Programs Specialist and EPA Victoria to obtain further information.
