The Minister for Water in Victoria, Australia announced on December 1st that Victoria was welcoming its first suburb connected to recycled water. 600 homes, two golf courses and public open spaces will all begin using recycled water for non-drinking purposes like watering, car washing and toilet flushing - reducing potable water use by one-third.
1200 more homes are expected to be built and to connect to the system; and the Water Ministry expects that over the next 25 years 40,000 hew homes will emplace 'purple pipe' systems that use recycled water for water, car washing and toilet flushing - saving 300 billion litres of water per year (79 billion gallons of water).
