Recycled / Wastewater Management

A well managed water recycling system assists with protecting the environment as well as reducing potential harm to water users. It is the responsibility of water recycling system owners to ensure their systems produce safe recycled water that is fit for its intended purpose.

A common misconception is that a water recycling system is safe when the water quality testing results is compliant with the relevant standards. Water quality testing is only able to provide a representation of the water quality at the time and location of sampling and is only one of the many tools (often too little too late and is unable to prevent contamination events from occurring) required to effectively manage a recycled water system. A recycled water system must be managed according to the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling’s (AGWR) twelve element framework..

Ecosafe Adding Value to Recycled and Wastewater Management

Ecosafe International has a Team of recycled / wastewater quality specialists who are able to assist with all areas of effective recycled / wastewater management and would welcome the opportunity to discuss your recycled / wastewater needs in further detail and assist with achieving compliance with applicable national and state guidelines.

Areas we typically assist include:

Comprehensive Recycled Water System Gap Analysis / Risk Assessment
We have extensive experience in the assessment of recycled and wastewater systems from source to end point use, the evaluation of current management practices (including documentation and procedures), and the identification of the associated improvement opportunities. All hazards and risks are consolidated into a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) risk register with proposed remedial actions and associated management strategies.
Drafting a Recycled Water Quality Management Plan (RWQMP)
Through the findings of the gap analysis and system assessment, a Recycled Water Quality Management Plan (RWQMP) is utilised to consolidate all the essential specific information and highlight the key management processes required to effectively operate the recycled water system. The Recycled Water Quality Management Plan is a working document and is designed to provide the foundation for effective recycled water management. Furthermore, the Recycled Water Quality Management Plan (RWQMP) assists with ensuring the continuous operation of the system and provides the basis for the adherence and demonstration of compliance with the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling’s (AGWR).
