Community attitudes to recycled water use: an urban Australian case study, part 2

Source: CRC Water Quality and Treatment
"This report presents results from a research project which surveyed 269 members of the Mawson Lakes community regarding their attitudes to recycled water use. Mawson Lakes is a greenfields suburb in Adelaide, South Australia where recycled water is distributed in addition to potable (drinking) water through a dual water supply system. Recycled water use commenced in April 2005. Conducted in June/July 2007, this was the fourth survey of the community’s attitudes to recycled water use and the second to be conducted after recycled water use had commenced. There is limited literature internationally regarding community attitudes to recycled water. There are few studies with communities who are actually using recycled water. A review of literature indicates this is the only long-term study assessing community attitudes to recycled water. As such, this study makes a contribution to knowledge and understanding of community attitudes to recycled water."
