Making the most of our rainwater and greywater
The CEO of the National Water Commission, Mr Ken Matthews, has released three 'how to guides' that will help Australian households boost their reuse of stormwater and greywater. Launching the publications at the GreenPlumbers Awards in Melbourne, Mr Matthews said, "By providing much-needed practical guidance on how to go about installing and maintaining rainwater tanks and greywater systems, these publications will encourage households to make the most of these valuable water sources."
