We are getting ready to turn on the big tap at the Bonny Hills Recycled Water Plant and start distributing recycled water to certain properties in Bonny Hills and Lake Cathie.
Residents with purple pipes on their properties can book a test with our water technicians, to ensure their properties connections are setup correctly. These tests check for cross connections with your drinking water supply, and are essential before we can start supplying your homes with recycled water.

Book your test
This mandatory check forms part of our regulatory requirements for managing a recycled water scheme. Over a five-year period, we need to test every property and business connected to recycled water.
Cross connections are present when there is a mix up between the pipes that supply drinking water or recycled water to your home. We need to make sure that recycled water is only flowing through the purple pipes.
If a cross connection is detected you will need to engage a plumber to fix the connections (at your expense). We will arrange a time to re-check the pipes once this is complete.
