This results in a reduction of the amount of pathogens (bacteria) which are requirements for public health reasons and licensing conditions.

The Chlorine injection not only provides additional disinfection ensuring the recycled water meets the Australian Guidelines for Water Recycling, it also helps to keep the recycled water pipes free of bacteria.
