About this document
Treated wastewater is sewage, industrial wastewater or other effluent that is treated to a level appropriate for its intended application. Treated wastewater can be a valuable water source and can be used for purposes such as irrigating golf courses, ovals, racetracks, turf farms, vineyards, vegetable growing, woodlots, plant nurseries, pasture crops and for use in cooling towers.
Before submitting a proposal to reuse treated wastewater, please read this information sheet. This information can help you plan your project and fill in the application form.
