Water Efficiency
Water is an extremely important resource, and in Western Australia we are coming close to using more water than recharge can accommodate. Part of making the best use of this resource is improving the way that we dispose of our wastewater, and how we use our scheme and ground water. The City of Nedlands became a Waterwise Council in 2011, endorsed by the Water Corporation. We aim to lead by example, and inspire our residents to adopt water-saving actions in their own homes.
Greywater
Reuse of greywater in homes is restricted to the use of systems that are approved by WA Health, and you will find that they operate using below ground disposal. A list of these is attached to the right of this page.
Rainwater Tanks
With the dwindling supplies of water available for public consumption, residents are encouraged to purchase rainwater tanks for use on their gardens during summer (residents must gain City building approval prior to installation).
Water Corporation Groundwater Replenishment Trial
The Water Corporation is currently undertaking a Groundwater Replenishment Trial, which is testing the recharge of recycled water. Groundwater replenishment has the potential to recycle large volumes of water, naturally. This method could help Perth become less dependent on rainfall as a source of water and more "climate resilient" by recycling water on a large scale. To find out more information, or to book a tour of the facility, visit www.watercorporation.com.au or call 13 10 39Waterwise Gardening Competition
