Water reuse in new housing:
Understanding the business case

A lack of certainty over the costs of installing individual property or community-scale water reuse (alongside other factors such as regulatory definitions) is acting as a potential barrier to the approach’s ability to unlock significant water savings, particularly where water stress is making housing delivery challenging.

This study sought to increase clarity by sourcing and analysing capital cost information on the main components of water reuse installations: external pipework, storage and treatment equipment, and internal pipework.
