The Water Quality Control Policy for Recycled Water (Recycled Water Policy) requires wastewater and recycled water dischargers (including dischargers that do not produce any recycled water) to annually report monthly volumes of influent, wastewater produced, and effluent, including treatment level and discharge type. As applicable, dischargers are additionally required to annually report recycled water use by volume and category of reuse. Data is self reported and submitted by dischargers through a reporting module in GeoTracker and collected on an annual basis.

Melbourne Water treats effluent to Class A recycled water standard. A proportion of this water is used onsite and provided to retail water companies to sell to recycled water customers. This file contains annual volumes of recycled water use and sales as reporting in the organisation's annual report.NOTE.
