Abstract
This is the second of three articles exploring responses of a section of the Australian community to having reclaimed wastewater and storm water plumbed into their house. The community is located at Mawson Lakes, South Australia, in an innovative greenfields development, which is a public-private partnership. The reclaimed water will be used inside the house for toilet flushing and also for outside use, for example for irrigation, and will be delivered through a system of lilac pipes. The delivery of the reclaimed water is expected to commence September/ October 2004. This article expands on aspects of a paper presented by Hurlimann and McKay (2004) at Enviro '04, Results indicate that trust in the water authority, and knowledge of the dual water supply system play an important role in promoting a positive attitude to such schemes.
