Scope

This British Standard gives recommendations on how to select water reuse system(s), taking into account water resources, surface water management, water supply and sewage infrastructure. It applies to both new and existing developments in residential and non-residential premises.

This British Standard covers the following water reuse systems: rainwater harvesting, stormwater harvesting and greywater reuse. It covers the supply of water for domestic water uses that do not require potable water quality, such as laundry, toilet flushing and garden watering. It does not cover systems supplying potable water for drinking, food preparation and cooking, dishwashing and personal hygiene.


This British Standard does not cover other sources of non-potable water, such as treated effluent, reclaimed industrial process water and water abstracted from wells and boreholes.

Purpose

The standard was published in 2013 and technology has progressed since then. Water reuse has been named as an area of interested by government in the National Framework for Water Resources.
