Water

First in Australia’s capital city

Canberra’s Sustainable House is proud to demonstrate the first and only installed waterless composting toilet in residential Canberra. Saving tens of thousands of litres of precious drinking water every year. Nick Mayo secured official approval for the waste water composting toilet systems that make Canberra’s Sustainable House unique. Canberra’s Sustainable House provides a personalised advisory and consultancy service to assist others who would like install similar systems in their homes.

Catch and Release

“Our water just falls out of the sky it and doesn’t get much cheaper than that”.

Canberra’s Sustainable House collects all of its water needs on the property. Canberra’s Sustainable House has NO connection with the ACT Water and Sewerage Networks. After use water is treated biologically, allowing reuse in the laundry and for garden irrigation.

Scientific Monitoring

Nick and Sarah have conducted some water monitoring of their systems over the past three years. A comprehensive soil and water monitoring program will commence soon, visit our blog for updates.
