Greywater use
Greywater is wastewater coming from the bath, shower, bathroom sink and laundry.
Council accepts applications for greywater use facilities for garden irrigation (Class 1a buildings in sewered areas only).
Greywater use facilities manage the distribution of greywater generated in the home for garden irrigation.
They also help:
- with installing, modifying and operating greywater use facilities in sewered areas
- lessen domestic reliance on mains water for garden irrigation
- protect the Redland's waterways by reducing greywater outflow
- raise community awareness of an alternative water source and encourage sustainable water use.
