[Voiceover:] We're creating a smarter, [br]more sustainable Sydney.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Water is one of our most [br]valuable resources [water running],

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but we use drinking quality water [br]for things that don't really need it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
while storm water [thunder & rain] [br]and water from our showers,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
washing machines and basins [br]goes down the drain wasted.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[pipe draining]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That's why we're planning [br]a decentralized water system.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[water running]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This includes a local, recycled water system [br]alongside our current water network.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This local water will be treated and then [br]distributed using a separate purple pipe.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
It will be used for non-drinking purposes only [br]like watering gardens and parks and flushing loos. [br][br]By using treated and filtered recycled water, [br]we could help supply the city of Sydney's

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
non-drinking water needs leaving [br]our drinking water for drinking.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[water dropping]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
In 2010, Austin, Texas saved more [br]than 7 billion litres of water.

Through the use of reclaimed water [br]and Singapore has one of the largest

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
water recycling plants in the world [br]where it's an actual tourist attraction.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[cameras clicking]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Recycling water will help us preserve [br]our precious drinking water

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and by introducing innovations like rain [br]gardens in our parks and streets

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
[rainforest sounds]

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
we'll also reduce pollution [br]going into our water ways,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
adding to the water saving actions [br]we're already doing.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Creating a sustainable Sydney 2030; [br]a green, global and connected city.
