The Ropes Crossing Recycled Water Scheme is a Sydney Water initiative to treat and recycle wastewater in homes and parks. The recycled water will be used for non-drinking purposes such as flushing toilets and watering lawns.

When fully completed and operational in 2010, Ropes Crossing is expected to save about 420 million litres from being drawn from Warragamba Dam each year – that’s equivalent to about 168 Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Each home and business is being built with a dual pipe system - one for drinking water and one for recycled water.

Recycled Water Snapshot
The recycled water is treated by Sydney Water to a very high standard - as outlined in the New South Wales Guidelines for Urban & Residential Use of Reclaimed Water 1993.
Recycled water in residential suburbs is suitable for toilet flushing, washing cars, irrigation and other household outdoor uses.
It is not suitable for drinking, cooking or kitchen purposes, swimming pools/spas, washing clothes, personal washing, indoor cleaning, recreational activities involving water, or spray irrigation of fruit trees and crops that are eaten raw or unprocessed.
