Recycled water for non-potable use - things Qld can't seem to achieve ...

... are easy for the southern States.

Excerpt from ABC News:

Work begins on water pipeline

11 September 2008

Construction has begun on the main pipeline to send water from the Glenelg sewage treatment plant to water Adelaide's parklands.

About 40 kilometres of pipeline is being laid for the $75 million project.

The pipe will eventually circle Adelaide and North Adelaide and will save the City Council from using drinking water to water the parklands.

Federal Water Minister Penny Wong says the state and federally funded project is expected to save more than five billion litres of fresh water a year.

"So what this will enable us to do is to have less of a call on our drinking water, use recycled water for watering of parklands and other irrigation," she said.

The project should be complete in about two years.
