The health risks associated with reusing Greywater and sewage water have long
been recognized but regulatory guidelines propose a flexible approach of risk assessment and risk
management linked to health-based targets that can be established at a level that is realistic under local
conditions. The approach is to be backed-up by strict monitoring measures.
Guidelines are built around a health component and an implementation component.
Health protection is dependent on both elements.
Health component:
- Establishes a risk level associated with identified health hazards
- Defines a level of health protection that is expressed as a health-based target for each risk
- Identifies health protection measures that, used collectively, can achieve the specified health-based target
Implementation component:
- Establishes monitoring and system assessment procedures
- Defines institutional and oversight responsibilities
- Requires system documentation
- Requires confirmation by independent surveillance
Irricycle conforms to standards defined by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of the
Environment.
The installation of Irricycle solutions conform to the issuing procedures of all legally
required permits. Irricycle installations stand up to the most rigorous standards assuring high water
quality production, monitoring and controlling of all treatment levels and stringent maintenance
measures.
