Advantages :

• Save the use of potable water

• Reduce the quantity of waste water to sewage treatment plant

Grey Water

CleanWater Simple on-site treatment

Treated Sewage Effluent Re-use • Tertiary sewage treatment

plant would be used

• The tertiary treated sewage will be used for flushing in toilets and for irrigation
