Aquarevo - A Water Sensitive Development

26 September 2017

Aquarevo in Lyndhurst is a unique collaboration between South East Water and Villawood Properties to create what’s on track to become Australia’s most water efficient urban housing development. Properties will feature three sources of water - recycled water, rain water and drinking water. Aquarevo will achieve a 70% water reduction from the the average home.

To make this happen, Aquarevo homes will:

  • Feature a high-tech rain to hot water system for bathing and showering that includes screening, filtering, treatment and temperature sensing devices.
  • Connect to a pressure sewer system that pumps wastewater to a water  recycling plant within the estate, treats the water to Class A standard, and sends it back to each home for use in the garden, toilet or washing machine.
  • Feature rainwater tanks with technology that receives weather forecasts – then releases water before heavy rainfall to minimise overflows or flooding in local waterways.
  • Connect to a OneBox® device that controls the water technology in each home, remotely monitors the pressure sewer and reads each home’s water and energy use.
