Class A This is the highest quality of recycled water. A tertiary treatment process combined with pathogen removal is required to produce water of this quality. Recycled water of this quality has the widest range of uses including: residential garden watering closed system toilet flushing process/cooling water for industry fire protection stores and reticulation systems irrigation of municipal parks and sportsgrounds water for contained wetlands or ornamental ponds food crops that are consumed raw or sold to consumers uncooked or processed all of the uses listed for classes B, C and D Class B A secondary treatment process, combined with some pathogen reduction is used to produce water of this quality. Class B water is currently available from the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee, and with strict management practices it may be used for the following: irrigation of dairy cattle grazing fodder livestock drinking water (not including pigs) wash down water for dairy sheds and stockyards (not including milking equipment) urban (non-potable) uses with restricted public access closed industrial systems all of the uses listed for classes C and D Class C A secondary treatment process combined with minor pathogen reduction is used to produce water of this quality. Class C water is currently available from the Eastern Treatment Plant at Bangholme, and with strict management practices it may be used for the following: cooked/processed human food crops selected (raw/unprocessed) crops not directly exposed to recycled water (eg. apples) grazing/fodder for cattle, sheep, horses, goats etc. grazing for dairy cattle (subject to a five day withholding period after irrigation) urban (non-potable) uses with restricted public access closed industrial systems all of the uses listed for Class D Class D A secondary treatment process is used to produce water of this quality. Recycled water produced at Melbourne Water's treatment plants exceeds Class D. Class D water may be used for the following uses: non food crops such as woodlots, turf growing and flowers Recycled water should not be confused with greywater. Greywater includes water from the kitchen, laundry and bathroom. It does not include toilet waste. There are environmental guidelines for the use of greywater, available from EPA Victoria.   About Us  I  Search  I  Contact Us  I  Privacy Policy  I  © Copyright
