# IWM3.1b IWM innovation - Recycled water supply
# Applies to
All subdivisions
# Objective
To provide for the substitution of drinking water for non-drinking purposes with reused and recycled water.
# Summary
Excellence is awarded where a third pipe connection enables access to recycled water for non-potable uses, as shown in the Stormwater Management Strategy (SWMS) or Integrated Water Management (IWM) Plan.
Recycled water should complement, not replace, rainwater reuse—especially where councils prioritise on-site capture to meet stormwater reduction targets. Availability varies by water authority. Availability and servicing arrangements should be confirmed with the relevant local water authority early in the planning process.
