Victorian Recycled Water Availability

This map shows where recycled water is available across Victoria, including indicative volumes and treatment plant locations. Recycled water is classified into three classes based on treatment quality, which determines safe uses: Class A – Highest quality, suitable for non-drinking residential uses (toilet flushing, clothes washing, garden watering), irrigation of public spaces, and food crops eaten raw. Class B – For uses such as irrigating sports fields, grazing land, and industrial wash-down. Requires controls like subsurface irrigation or restricted access. Class C – For agricultural crops that are cooked or processed (e.g., wine grapes, olives) and livestock grazing with safeguards. The map supports planning for sustainable water use by connecting recycled water supply with potential demand and promoting waterway health. For detailed guidance, refer to the Victorian Guideline for Water Recycling (Publication 1910).
