Delegation embarks on recycled water fact-finding mission

27 February 2007

ACTEW and ACT Government officials are on a fact-finding mission to Singapore to help decide whether to introduce recycled water into Canberra's supply.

The delegation hopes to learn lessons from Singapore which uses a recycled effluent scheme similar to that proposed for the ACT.

ACTEW technical specialist Aspi Baria says the trip will focus on the health aspects of recycled water.

"We'd very much like to see how well and how successful these technical advancements they've adopted [are] but it's more important to see how well they've managed the health issue regarding the water which has been treated," he said.

Mr Baria says the team also wants to learn about all aspects of introducing recycled water into a catchment.

"What [are the] technical details of the scheme, what are the issues we need to look at, how well we can hook it up to our old system and also to look at the community engagement process they have used to make sure this was a successful campaign," he said.
