Water Restrictions - in Vic. NSW, SA (Level 5 now in Queensland-)

Queensland takes the lead and makes the case for Purified recycled water -

Purified recycled water is wastewater that has been treated to the highest standard through a 7-barrier treatment system.

This drinking-quality water is then blended into another water supply source such as a dam, flowing river or aquifer that provides an environmental buffer. All water extracted from the water supply source that receives purified recycled water is treated at a drinking water treatment plant before distribution to consumers.

The Premier announced in January 2007 that purified recycled water will be added to South-East Queensland’s drinking supplies as part of a broader water security and supply plan. Purified recycled water is expected to be available by December 2008 from the Western Corridor Recycled Water Scheme. View  fact sheet (657 PDF, KB).

The Queensland Water Commission is leading the water management strategy and as part of its role it will provide information to the community on purified recycled water and answer your questions on:

• What is purified recycled water?
• How is purified recycled water made?
• Is it safe?
• Why do we need it?
• How does it fit in to a broader water strategy?
• Where else is purified recycled water used?

The Queensland Water Commission has established an expert advisory panel to provide advice on technical issues associated with purified recycled water.
