This Handbook has been developed jointly by the Master Plumbers and Mechanical Services Association of Australia (MPMSAA) and RMIT University with additional editorial and technical services were provided by Arris Pty Ltd (Dr Daryl Stevens).

The primary purpose of this Handbook is to provide practical guidance to plumbers and Councils. The Handbook will assist them in understanding the benefits and risks associated with greywater use, to enable management of any associated risks, and ensure that greywater is approved (where required), installed, used and maintained at a residential household site without compromising public health and the environment.

The secondary purpose is to provide a valuable insight for householders and regulators as to the approval and installation process and responsibilities of the householder when using and maintaining their greywater system. This will ensure the community is informed sufficiently to manage their greywater effectively.
