Perth Laundry Water Recycling FAQs
Common questions from Perth commercial laundries
How much can Perth laundries save with water recycling?
Water recycling can cut your laundry’s water use by 45–65% and gas use by around 15%. For laundries processing 100 tonnes/week, payback can be as fast as 6 months. Your Perth estimate should use actual Water Corporation bills, laundry volume, installed costs and ongoing operating costs. For 2026–27, Water Corporation’s metro business water-use rate is A$3.001/kL; sewerage, service and trade-waste charges depend on your account. LaundryWaterSolutions connects you with our partner, who works with Wientjens. Ask for a site-specific assessment.
Does water recycling work in Perth's climate and during water restrictions?
Water recycling can suit Perth commercial laundries when the equipment is matched to your wash-water flow, washer configuration and process. The assessment should check equipment operating conditions, agreed reuse stages and fresh-water capacity. Confirm any water-supply conditions with Water Corporation and plan with the provider for connections, maintenance and times when fresh water is needed.
What's the installation process for Perth laundries?
An installation assessment for Perth starts with your actual water flows, washing equipment, available space, drainage, power and existing discharge conditions. Agree a programme with the supplier and appropriately qualified contractors, including any approvals from Water Corporation, plumbing or building work, planned connections and commissioning. Confirm downtime, staff training, maintenance responsibilities and the water-quality validation needed for your reuse application before committing to dates. Timing depends on the site and equipment configuration.
Is water recycling compliant with Water Corporation and WA regulations?
Compliance depends on the equipment configuration, reuse application and conditions at your Perth facility. Before installation, confirm discharge approval, pre-treatment, plumbing and any building requirements with Water Corporation and the responsible professionals. The assessment should identify the proposed reuse stages, required water-quality tests and monitoring, and document any changes to existing approvals. Installing a recycling system does not itself establish authority approval or certification.
Which Perth laundries can benefit from water recycling?
Hotels, aged-care facilities, hospital laundries, textile rental plants and industrial laundries in Greater Perth can be assessed for recycling. For FIFO accommodation and regional WA operations, check the actual supply, wastewater and service arrangements before estimating savings. Suitability depends on water flow, operating hours, textile loads and washer configuration. The laundry operator and relevant hygiene or infection-control teams should agree suitable streams and wash stages. A free assessment can show which setup fits your facility and what its payback could look like.
How do Perth water costs compare to other Australian cities?
Compare the charges on your own account before comparing cities. Water Corporation’s 2026–27 metro business water-use rate is A$3.001/kL. Sewer volume charges depend on applicable discharge factors and allowances, trade-waste charges follow your permit, and service charges also apply. Other utilities and regional WA towns use different pricing structures. Estimate savings from the charges that can change with your laundry’s water use and wastewater discharge, then include gas, installation and operating costs.
