The grey water recycling plant treats domestic wastewater including sewerage, kitchen water, cleaning water, shower and wash basin water. The treated water is reticulated and used to irrigate our lawns and garden. The plant uses a combination of bio filtration, aeration, clarification and pronation to filter and purify the water and kill bacteria The main benefit of recycling grey water is the reduced use of drinking water for activities like watering gardens. A reduction in use of potable borehole water preserves the underground water table and reduces the electricity required to pump water.
