Recycled water
The supply of high quality recycled water sourced from Cairns
wastewater treatment plants is being made available to suitable new
housing developments in the Cairns Regional Council area. The
recycled water will be supplied via a separate reticulation network, for
non drinking purposes, for use in homes, businesses and for irrigation
of public parks and gardens.
A recycled Water Plumbing Guide has also been developed as a guide to provide important information for licensed plumbers installing recycled water services to new housing developments. It aims to ensure the proper installation of the recycled water service to
homes and provide a clear guide for the safe use of recycled water in
new housing developments.
