Why should I spend the money on reuse? Won’t the government provide enough water with new dams, desalination plants, or major community based recycling plants?
New dams are off the agenda for environmental reasons and the other options available. The focus is on water conservation, recycling and possibly desalination. Desalination plants if adopted will provide relief in limited areas for potable water and will be costly. In any case it is intended that water restrictions will be lifted because id desalination plants. Desalination plants ate a crisis solution for potable water only available for drinking or washing/showering. Major community recycling plants, such as Rouse Hill are being mooted for major new Sydney development in the North West and South West. This does not address the new home development in established areas are pockets of development in rural and semi rural areas and certainly not the recycling of grey water in established homes. All of these are substantial markets.
