Sewerage & recycled water
Sewage (or wastewater) is used or spent water from domestic, commercial and industrial sources. Domestic wastewater or sewage comes from sinks, baths, showers, toilets and washing machines in our homes.
The City of Gold Coast collects and treats sewage to produce recycled water, before discharging what has not been re-used. We ensure it is treated to a high standard which meets or exceeds the Department of Environment and Science environmental licence requirements, before discharge.
