The draft Recycled Water Services Policy is a key document in understanding the commitment and responsibilities of Council and the community relating to the supply and use of recycled water within the Port Macquarie Hastings Local Government Area.

Recycled water is a key part of ensuring water security for the Local Government Area and requires appropriate management and use of this valuable and vital resource.

The draft Recycled Water Services Policy provides the necessary framework:

  • to inform Council’s recycled water schemes and guidelines for the use and operation of recycled water
  • relating to the Bonny Hills/Lake Cathie and Port Macquarie recycled water schemes
  • specifying requirements for recycled water production, distribution and use

As the recycled water network expands, this document will continue to be updated to accurately reflect the supply and usage requirements
