(a) The Water Corporation is currently working with a number of customers around the State on new recycling opportunities. Over the past 12 months, the Water Corporation has delivered new, or in the process of, expanding water recycling schemes in Kalbarri, Geraldton, Subiaco, Shenton Park and Tambellup.
(b) The expected costs for the recycling opportunities are not yet available as funding for some opportunities is ongoing and each of the individual opportunities are evaluated on a case by case basis.
(c) The Peel region recycled water supply scheme was investigated and while technically feasible, is not currently commercially viable. The Peel Development Commission is now working with stakeholders to pursue more localised recycling schemes.
