You may be able to use greywater from your bathroom, laundry and kitchen in the garden or to flush your toilet.

By re-using greywater instead of sending it down the drain, you may be able to save on water and wastewater charges and reduce demand on water supplies in your area.

However, it’s vital that any system you use for collecting and re-using greywater is properly installed and maintained, and that greywater is kept away from human contact. Otherwise, there can be significant risks to your health.

You’ll need to check with your local council before installing a system to collect and re-use greywater.
