“…In order to cope with the increase in water demand, it is proposed to investigate the feasibility of supplying recycled water for non-potable uses to the users. The non-potable uses do not need water to be treated to drinking water-quality standards, as this has proven to be unsustainable [2][3]. Wastewater reuse has an advantage of turning wastewater into a water source instead of a pollutant.…”

“…Municipal sewage is an anthropogenically contaminated water body or stream which varies significantly depending on its origin and reaction to environmental influences, chiefly rainfall and evaporation (Adewumi et al, 2010). Rainfall dilutes the effluent and evaporation has a concentrating effect (Adewumi et al, 2010;Ahmad et al, 2011).…”

“…1 South Africa is a semi-arid country with very little rainfall, resulting in high water stress; as such, individuals in many communities struggle to access potable water. 2 Water scarcity problems can be addressed through the recycling of municipal wastewater for reuse in households -a practice which is increasing worldwide. 3 However, reclaimed water may be a major source of pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms, as well as pharmaceutical waste products.…”
