Yatala to approximately 500 ML/annum of beer )• Wastewater was expected to double
• Wastewater was pre-treated and discharged to sewer
• New system need to cope with extra load and stricter requirements from local council.

Issues Supply and DemandIssues – Supply and Demand
• Competition with other water sources eg • Competition with other water sources – eg drinking water supply or “free” irrigation water
• Quality – to be fit for purposeT iff R l t d N ti t ? • Tariff – Regulated or Negotiate your own?
• Market demand frequently overestimated – egMarket demand frequently overestimated egSydney’s Glenfield-Liverpool-Malabar line
MATCHING SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Varying seasonal domestic and agricultural demands are unlikely to match the supply of recycled water from treatment plants
Modelled outside demand for water,
Aurora subdivision, Victoria
(McLean 2003)
But steady industrial demand can be ymatched with steady Treatment Plant supply
How to store recycled water?yON SURFACE

Commercial optionsCommercial options
• Integrate several water resources – eg recycled and stormwater – Olympic Park, Mawson Lakesstormwater Olympic Park, Mawson Lakes
• Joint venture investment eg Stormwater Recycling between local government and user (Salisbury Council between local government and user (Salisbury Council and Michells Woolscourers, SA)

• Lack of long-term access security – title to water unclear• Continuity of supply – what if plant down for maintenance?y pp y p• Response of Government to a “disaster” with recycled

THE ULTIMATE ISSUEDO WE RECYCLE BACK TO DRINKING WATER?
•It is technically feasible, safe, already practised indirectly
•Can evoke aesthetic insecurity among potential recipients
•Seems OK if goes down a river before enters reservoir(Canberra & various country WWTPs discharge to River Murray, which supplies 35% - 85% of Adelaide’s water)
•Successfully practised in Windhoek SingaporeSuccessfully practised in Windhoek, Singapore
•Proposals being considered for Toowoomba, Goulburn
